☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis issue is an anthology containing three military aviation stories. "Yesterday's Hero" depicts a formerly proud German Luftwaffe pilot reduced to an ineffectual shadow of his former self. "The World Conqueror" recounts the exploits of Hans Brighter, a Nazi fighter ace credited with multiple kills who was shot down in May 1942. "The Arctic Patrol" follows a military and civilian task force working in Arctic fog to construct a concealed radar and ground-to-air missile base, with one officer's account of how he came to be stationed there in August 1943 after an incident involving forgotten duty and bootleg supplies.
When American planes keep falling to enemy fighters over the Cold War skies with no way to fight back, Major Ashley takes matters into his own hands—piloting an unmarked jet armed with experimental missiles to hunt down the pilots responsible. Operating in absolute secrecy, he becomes a phantom avenger striking from the clouds, but his mission hinges on staying unidentified. In a conflict where nations can't openly retaliate, one man's quest for justice becomes the only answer the other side will understand.
Hans Brichter was Nazi Germany's deadliest fighter ace, a proud symbol of the Luftwaffe with 105 aerial victories to his name—until a young American pilot named Ozzie Jaynes arrived in England in 1943. When Jaynes and Brichter clash over France, a rookie's grit and tactical study face off against a seasoned warrior's experience and speed. This 1960 war story follows their deadly pursuit across the skies of Europe.
A reconnaissance pilot and his crew photograph a suspicious military installation in the Arctic, discovering that foreign forces are secretly building a radar and missile base on North American soil. When Lt. Dawes delivers the evidence to command, he receives orders to return fully armed—but the intruders won't go undetected for long. Discover how a small patrol force confronts an illegal and dangerous incursion in this tense Cold War standoff.
Captain Milo Reese was once the Pacific's deadliest fighter pilot—until a single mission in 1943 shattered his nerve, landing him in disgrace and exile to supply runs. When a surprise reassignment puts him back in the cockpit of a P-38, Reese must prove he can reclaim the skill and courage that made him a legend, even as everyone around him doubts he has anything left to give.
