Contains 5 stories
Mountain Murder
7 pp · war

Leatherneck Jack and his sidekick Monte are sent on a dangerous reconnaissance mission to gather proof that enemy forces are illegally using a sacred Korean temple as an observation post—a violation of an agreement between UN and Communist forces. Scaling the mountainside under cover, the two Marines discover radio equipment, spotters, and machine gun positions inside the temple, but their discovery doesn't go unnoticed when a confrontation forces them into a desperate firefight. With enemy troops closing in, Jack and Monte must fight their way out and make it back to headquarters to report their findings.

Round Trip Ticket to Danger
7 pp · war

When Biff and Smokey disobey orders and hide in a freight car within the bivouac area, they're knocked unconscious and awakened to find themselves aboard a train headed deep into enemy territory—right into the heart of North Korea. Desperate to return to their own lines, the two marines hijack a locomotive and fight their way back, only to discover they've accidentally liberated a carload of prisoners, including the sergeant they've been trying to avoid. It's a wild round trip that turns a moment of recklessness into an unexpected act of heroism.

Say It with Flour
6 pp · humor

Canteen Kate springs into action when Private Brown breaks Major Herringbone's prized Ming vase—and hatches a clever plan to repair it with nothing but flour paste before the Colonel finds out. But when Colonel Clancy arrives with questions about weevils in the warehouse flour, Kate's quick thinking sends both her and the evidence tumbling into an unexpected comedy of errors that threatens to expose everything.

Left Out
5 pp · humor

Private Thistlewait keeps falling asleep on patrol duty, and when the Sarge finally leaves him behind as a liability, the bumbling soldier decides to catch up with the unit—only to stumble directly into enemy hands carrying a forged message about incoming reinforcements. What happens next turns the whole mission on its head in this Korean War-era humor tale from Fightin' Marines.

Ivan the Terrible
6 pp · war

Sergeant Tripoli Shores and his Marines are ordered to track down and capture Ivan the Terrible, a ruthless Soviet pilot whose MiG-15 has just crashed near their outpost—and who's known for strafing wounded soldiers without hesitation. As Ivan evades across no man's land with Chinese reinforcements closing in, Tripoli must use cunning and grit to corner the vicious airman before he can escape to enemy-held territory. It's a tense manhunt where one wrong move could cost lives, and where taking a prisoner alive proves just as dangerous as the firefight itself.
