Fightin' Air Force #25

When American pilot Captain Dave Hillman is shot down over occupied France in 1943, he's rescued by Papa Jean and the French Resistance—including a young woman named Gisele Bouchard—who hide him and help him escape back to his base. Months later, after the invasion begins, Hillman is ordered to strafe his own village to prevent the Nazis from using it as a staging ground, a mission that tears at him knowing his friends still live there. What he discovers when he finally returns to the liberated village reveals the true cost—and purpose—of his agonizing choice.

Captain Hec Jupin and Captain Sam Hawk, a full-blooded Sioux fighter pilot, have developed an ingenious bombing method using infrared reflectors placed on the ground to guide precision strikes on enemy targets—and now they're being asked to pull off the most dangerous mission yet, destroying a massive supply dump on Leyte swarming with Japanese forces. Hawk must infiltrate the heavily defended island to plant the reflectors while Jupin waits to make the bombing run, but getting in and out alive will test everything they've learned. Can this unconventional partnership pull off a strike that no other method could accomplish?

Major Fuzz Shipley and Lieutenant Hero Hayes lead their battered B-25 bomber, the "Happy Orphan," and a P-51 Mustang on a dangerous mission to destroy Japanese General Takato Kima's massive supply depot—a stockpile of gasoline, ammunition, and bombs that threatens to crush the Chinese forces holding a strategically vital valley. With hundreds of enemy planes and anti-aircraft guns defending the target, the two pilots know the odds are against them, but they've volunteered anyway. As dawn breaks over the enemy position, the mission unfolds with devastating consequences that will change everything for the crew.
