The devious Captain Jeff Webster
thinks he’s gotten away with murder — after all, what’s one more fragged body
on the battlefields of North Korea? But he didn’t count on a friendly,
tenacious and infuriating military policeman to hound him at every turn. Maybe it’s not as easy as he
expected to get away with… Murder on the 38th Parallel. |
The two
parachutists made their landing safely on the soil of Occupied France.
Eagerly, they waited for the welcoming words from the French Resistance. But
the first they heard were pure Cockney, and from a middle‑aged
Englishman in First World War uniform! That
surprise was only the first of many when fighting alongside Jimmy Robinson
and his tough bunch of veterans. |
In 1951, still bitter from
missing action in World War Two, Flight Lieutenant Eric Hewson was flying
Gloster Meteor F.8 jets over West Germany when the opportunity to finally see
real action with the USAF in Korea arose. That was until the offer was given
to his buddy, Flight Lieutenant Nick Greene. When Greene returned to Germany,
swaggering with combat stories, tensions rose between the men — but there
were bigger threats in the skies than missed glory |
Sergeant Fred Manning
was no stranger to action, and when he was posted to command a Sherman tank
in the Allied advance through Germany, he thought his previous experiences
would stand him in good stead. But all his fighting
had taken place in the battles which had raged across the deserts of North
Africa. He would soon learn that this was to be a very different kind of war… |

Sergeant Rayker is back! As the
Americans advance, Rayker’s mind is on victory, but also on revenge for his
friend Clancy Davis, who was murdered by the SS. As his unit moves
further into Germany, the horrors of the Nazi regime are revealed, but will
Rayker be able to exact his personal retribution or will Wolfgang Viessmann
of the SS evade justice? |
Sergeant
Judd Hawke reckoned he’d seen the lot. He knew every weapon of war, and he’d
handled them in battle after battle. But now
he was seeing something different, something terrifying… a secret weapon that
melted tanks into useless lumps of metal! |
Occupied France, 1942. After her
cell of French Resistance fighters is betrayed and their intel destroyed,
Eleanor Moraux finds herself unsure who to trust, and on the run from a
fearsome Gestapo officer. But Eleanor has memorised vital
intel that could assist the British and free her homeland — she must resist
capture and she must escape. |
The Fairey Battle
bomber was hopelessly out of date by the start of the Second World War. Yet
many brave crews still flew them into action, taking on the might of the
Luftwaffe — even though they knew their chances of survival were poor. Some pilots even volunteered to tackle missions
that they knew were going to be one-way trips... |

After Leutnant Kurt Stahlmann
sabotages an SS scheme to smuggle plundered Soviet treasure back to Germany,
he is assigned the task of flying supplies to Leningrad and clearing Russian
ground defences along the way. Unbeknownst to Kurt’s
crew, the vengeful SS have taken measures to ensure that his beloved Junkers
Ju 52 Iron Annie’s next flight will be her last |
Alan
Blake was a Mustang pilot. An expert flyer in a brilliant aircraft. Give him
Messerschmitts to tackle — he had no trouble with them. E-boats to shoot up —
no problem there either. But then
came that terrible day when the stream of bullets from his guns tore into his
own squadron leader… |
Burma, 1944. Assigned to a Royal
Artillery base deep in the jungle, traumatised and scared Private Henry
Lovelock is only able to carry on due to the reassuring protection of a squad
of Gurkhas, led by the fearless Bibek. But, when the base is raided by
the Japanese and Bibek is captured, Henry must find the courage to save his
Nepalese friend |
This is the story of
the RAF unit that rose from disgrace to carve a glorious name for itself in perilous
enemy skies. And, even when all its
planes had been brought down, that squadron still refused to die! |

The Western Front, May 1916.
Prince Rupert’s Horse Regiment find themselves short of food and, crucially,
the private food supplies of Lieutenant Cadman — the fighting coward — have
run dry too. Spurred into unusual
action by his rumbling belly, Cadman leads his men on a dangerous expedition
to replenish his food stores, and escape another tin of Maconochie rations. |
The most
dangerous job in the RAF — that’s what people said about “Tail-End Charlies”,
the rear-gunners who were always the first target for enemy fighters. This
story is about Charlie Stevens, a man who set out to make the job dangerous
indeed — for those enemy fighters! |
During the fiercest fighting of
the Vietnam War, US Army helicopters were in the thick of it — none more so
than the AH-1 Cobra gunships, agile death-dealers deployed against the
invading forces of the Viet Cong. But the conflict in Southeast
Asia cost much, not just in bullets and machines, but in the lives of men and
their spirits, broken by the toll of destruction... |
There was no denying
the fact that Lieutenant Roger Darbrook had run from his first taste of war,
leaving his sergeant to do his job for him and fight a vital rearguard
action. The question was, would he run again? Many
people thought so, and at one time it certainly looked like they were right.
Yet things aren’t always what they seem... |

It is the mid-1990s and across a
battle-scarred Europe, the forces of WESFED (Western Federation) and the
Eastern armies of the ASBLOC (Asian Bloc) are in a delicate state of truce. But the fragile peace
is under constant threat and only Harrier Squadron — an international allied
task force of jump-jet pilots — can prevent a flight of bandit “ghost
fighters” from re-igniting the deadly conflict! |
John
Daniels had only one thought in his mind — revenge. Revenge against the
Brigadier who had sentenced him to prison for the crime of self-defence. Now, the
Brigadier was a prisoner in Germany, and John was on his way to find him. But
it was no rescue attempt — John had orders to silence the Brigadier once and
for all! |
Germany, 1945. Following Germany’s surrender,
Allied forces occupy much of the country. In pursuit of an escaped Nazi
prisoner, a troop of US soldiers encounters a French-occupied village on the
edge of the Black Forest, which has been experiencing a spate of missing people.
The villagers blame the
malevolent Erlking — a forest spirit. Only Klara Hoffman, a local
clockmaker’s daughter, believes a more human threat dwells in the woods. . |
When a man has seen
too much fighting and come close to death, he wants only one thing — a safe
job, and a bit of peace and quiet away from the shells and the bullets. So
Ned Simpson reckoned his luck was in when he was sent home from Italy and
posted to guard a Welsh reservoir. But how wrong can you
be? For soon he was to come face-to-face with a crack German parachute unit. In
Wales? Yes, that’s right... |

Sergeant Terry Banks and his
colourful team of Commandos were known for getting the job done. But the Commandos
might have bitten off more than they could chew when their next mission, to
find and dispatch a Nazi Oberfuhrer obsessed with the occult, led them to the
beautiful and mysterious fjords of Norway. Nobody could have guessed what
lay slumbering in the mountains… |
Thrashing
in to attack at forty knots, guns blazing, torpedoes hissing from the
tubes...that was how they fought their war in the little ships of the Royal
Navy. To
command one of those MTBs, you had to be brave as a lion, quick as lightning,
tough as steel. And Lieutenant Bob Stacey was a guy just like that. |
The Ardennes, 1944. A fog descended on the forest,
and former detective Rick Brennan found himself in the thick of it. Separated
from his unit, he took shelter in a farmhouse with a disparate crew of
American soldiers, a captured German and a disgruntled civilian. When one of the men was
murdered, Rick was convinced the German was innocent, but he’d have a long,
bad night ahead of him trying to catch the real killer. |
For
some Burmese tribes, the only way a young lad could prove himself a man was
by catching a tiger single‑handed. Even though the occupying Japanese
forbade such hunts, Kam-Lee was determined to carry out the age-old ritual. But
he wasn’t the only hunter, for the brutal Colonel Samato was stalking a
British fighter-pilot through the jungle. Soon, someone was going to be... Caught In The Trap! |
