Contains 5 stories
Mig Alley Tyrant
8 pp · war

When hardnosed Lieutenant Colonel Roger E. Shaw takes command of the Teddy Bear Squadron, the pilots immediately clash with his iron-fisted discipline—especially after he grounds Jerry Harris and Sam Rose for shooting down two MiGs against orders. Day after day, Shaw drives his reluctant flyers through grueling training and strict combat protocols, earning their hatred but forging them into a sharper outfit. As the enemy launches its final desperate push, the squadron discovers whether Shaw's ruthless methods will carry them through the climactic battle ahead.

Sabre Ace
7 pp · war

Steve Kendall carries the weight of his father's legacy—a celebrated World War I combat flyer—as he trains to become a jet pilot himself, haunted by the fear he'll never measure up. When he's posted to Korea and faces off against a skilled enemy ace who's made him a personal target, Steve must finally confront whether he has the courage to match his father's reputation, or if he'll be defined by his own doubts. A story about finding your own strength in the shadow of greatness.

The Egg-Beater
6 pp · war

When helicopter pilot Larry Randall rescues a wounded soldier from a Korean mountainside, he's reminded of his younger brother Mack—a hotshot jet fighter pilot who's made a name for himself in combat. The brothers never quite saw eye to eye, and Mack's cocky dismissal of Larry's "egg-beater" missions only deepens the rift, until a reckless strafing run leaves Mack shot down and stranded behind enemy lines. Now it's Larry's unglamorous helicopter that becomes the only hope to bring his brother home alive.

The Last Flight!
7 pp · war

Lieutenant Colonel Lee Merrill is a decorated fighter ace from World War II, now reassigned to Korea in 1952 as a troubleshooter for General Trent—flying escort missions and bolstering the battered 619th Fighter Squadron against waves of enemy MiGs. Day after day of brutal combat wears on the legendary pilot, and after repeated missions over MiG Alley, Merrill makes a stunning decision that tests not just his courage, but his conscience. When word reaches him of his squadron's fate, he faces a choice that will define what it truly means to be a hero.

Time Flies
1 pp · non-fiction; aviation
Father Time

Father Time watches aviation technology evolve at a breathtaking pace, from the relatively modest speeds of World War I aircraft to the jet-powered fighters screaming across the sky in 1952—and the old timer finds himself completely overwhelmed by the relentless march of progress. This one-page story captures a humorous moment as the passage of time itself confronts just how fast the world is moving.
