Contains 5 stories
No Medals, No Headlines
6 pp · war

A jet pilot desperate to escape a beat-up B-26 medium bomber finally gets his chance to prove himself when ground troops need close air support over the Korean hills—but Captain Dan Richards discovers that duty and ambition don't always align the way a career officer expects. Written with the grit and sacrifice that defined combat aviation, this story follows a skilled flyer caught between his hunger for advancement and the men on the ground who've come to depend on him.

The Easy Way
4 pp · war

A young jet pilot bristles when his visiting Uncle George—a World War II fighter ace—dismisses modern Air Force life as "the easy way," claiming today's airmen are coddled compared to his generation. When the squadron deploys overseas near Soviet territory, the pilot gets a chance to prove that flying supersonic interceptors and conducting classified combat missions demands skill and courage every bit as demanding as his uncle's wartime experience. Uncle George may have had his victories to brag about, but some stories, this pilot learns, are simply too secret to tell.

Long Slow Death
6 pp · war

A P-51 pilot convinced he's destined to die in combat discovers that his fatalism has made him reckless—until a close call with a Focke-Wulf fighter forces him to confront an unexpected truth: he actually wants to survive. As Captain Leonard fights to stay alive for the first time since 1942, he learns that caring about your own future might be the hardest battle of all.

Everything But Rich
5 pp · war

Lieutenant Kenneth Bissell is a young Air Force pilot caught between duty and romance when he meets the wealthy Anne Cargyll—a woman who sees his military career as a financial dead-end, no matter how much she's drawn to him. As Bissell throws himself into his work to forget her, a tense Cold War intercept mission forces him to make a split-second decision that changes everything. When Anne learns what he's accomplished, she finally understands what it means to stand beside an officer who has something far more valuable than money.

Pappy's Kids
4 pp · war

A veteran fighter pilot in Korea earns the nickname "Pappy" by putting his life on the line to protect the younger pilots in his flight, from talking a wounded wingman through a crippled landing to drawing enemy fire away from those in danger. When a MIG catches him over enemy territory, his "kids" discover just how much their mentor means to them. This tale of sacrifice and loyalty shows what it really costs to keep your squadron alive.
