As Major Ripple and his cunning opponent clash over the skies of Korea, an old grudge reignites in a series of high-speed duels that test every ounce of his flying skill and nerve.

A B-24 waist-gunner's desperate bid to escape after being shot down over German territory in 1942 takes an unexpected turn when he's captured and thrown into Stalag 14—only to discover that Allied officers have a daring plan to extract one particular prisoner, Captain Weisz, before the Nazis can interrogate him. When light attack bombers strike the camp, Sergeant Tuttle must fight his way through guards and chaos to get Weisz to the waiting transports, all while uncovering just how crucial this one man might be to winning the war.

Captain Nate Cavanaugh struggles with a life-changing choice: abandon his passion for flying jets to pursue a lucrative real estate career with his wife Louise's brother and provide financial security for his family, or stay true to his calling in the Air Force. During a sixty-day leave in Louise's hometown, Cavanaugh discovers that civilian life—and the compromises it demands—comes at a cost he never expected to pay. What he learns about what truly matters most will reshape everything he thought he wanted.

This story pits pride, patriotism, and aviation prowess against each other as two seasoned aces settle their score in the skies above Europe.
