☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two stories: "Sky Jeep," in which Captain Ten and gadgeteer Limon battle an intrepid enemy flyer using a experimental U.S. Army aerial vehicle, with Ten seeking revenge for his buddy being shot down; and an unnamed war narrative following soldiers at the front, including a young recruit eager to fight the enemy and an older soldier who has grown weary of war and uses various tricks to avoid combat while others demonstrate bravery in battle.
Major Bill Mace and his Raiders are handed a dangerous assignment by General Collins: infiltrate behind enemy lines at Beach Red to locate and photograph Soviet-supplied radar anti-aircraft guns that are decimating Allied bombers, then destroy them before the Reds can use them to inflict more damage. With time running out and enemy forces closing in, Mace leads his crack team of soldiers on a brutal raid through hostile terrain to complete the mission.
Captain Tex takes a chopper on a reckless joyride, buzzing General Welles with reckless flair—only to find himself dodging enemy Migs and narrowly escaping by leading them into the crossfire of friendly anti-aircraft guns. When he finally lands, the General isn’t furious, but he does hand Tex a bill for the clothes he ruined in the stunt.
In the tense quiet of a war-torn outpost, two soldiers—Slugs Rafferty and Jim Dennis—find themselves guarding a single ballot box, their mission to ensure their comrades can cast their votes in a distant election. When enemy forces steal the box, the pair must venture into enemy territory to retrieve it, turning a simple duty into a high-stakes mission where democracy itself is on the line.
Clem Yates is the unreconstructed rebel of the barracks—so proud of the Civil War cap his great-grandfather left him that he'll wear it anywhere, even to a Korean War inspection. When his unit finally sees combat, this trigger-happy Southerner's unorthodox tactics and stubborn pride put him at odds with his sergeant, but they'll need to work together to survive what's waiting at the front.
