Stories

  • Human Air Raid! · 13 pages

    Marie acts as bait in a tree to kill a tank, but the Resistance's ammo is running low, and no money to buy more supplies. Meanwhile Allied bombers can't bomb a gorge to kill a Nazi train. And the Nazis offer a million franc reward for Marie's capture! She volunteers and is turned in. Her comrade safeguards the money from being stolen back by Nazis as she escapes. Finally, re-supplied with ammo and ordnance, Marie's squad parachutes with explosives down into the gorge and destroys the train, a "human air raid".

  • Flattop Mosquito! · 5.67 pages

    A rookie Navy pilot is thrilled to get his own carrier plane, but realizes he's tiny compared to the power and guns of the ship. Until, after a dogfight, he chases a kamikaze to within inches of the carrier's destruction - and blows up the plane with a single bullet to save the carrier! What all the guns and squadrons couldn't do, a "mosquito" did.

  • Who's Left? · 5.67 pages

    Marine Able Company storms a Pacific island under fire. The sarge asks private Hewitt, "Who's left?" as the force gets whittled down. Hewitt is amazed as guys advance and wave their comrades on. Soon it's only Hewitt and sarge who's left, then Hewitt. "I'm left!" He gains a dead tank and blasts a Zero with its machine gun. Then he waves to the "guys who answered the toughest roll call of all - Who's left?"
