After his prototype mosquito was destroyed, ace pilot Sergeant Matt Braddock found himself without an aircraft to fly. But being bounced around from airfield to airfield, then evacuated to India, Braddock soon spies opportunity in the form of a Blenheim without a crew. Now he can take the fight back to the Japanese!

 

But how does Braddock go from flying his bomber with his navigator, George Bourne, to flying a hurricane fighter plane solo?

Alone and weary, Lieutenant Rob cautiously embarked down the boulder-strewn Italian mountainside, his eyes searching the night for any sign of the Nazis.

 

He was cold and tired and felt he could sleep for a week... but still he forced himself on.

He knew that if he failed in this mission, death and destruction would smash the Allied armies when the first light of dawn lit up the angry sky..

The Western Front, 1917. Charlie Wilberforce, a British fighter pilot, sees the Royal Flying Corps devastated by the German Flying Circus, with their superior planes and experienced pilots.

 

But things turn around when Wilberforce is introduced to a new plane — the Sopwith Camel!

 

The German armoured column roared through the Italian countryside, heading for what was supposed to be a lightly-defended pass through the mountains.

 

What they didn’t count on was the grim determination of the handful of British infantry ready to stop them — no matter what the cost!

After the explosive events on the island, Oberfuhrer Randolph Mensch flew towards his private prisoner-of-war-camp. Housed there were the Soviet and British inmates Mensch used for his vile, mad experiments.

 

Miles away, a small raiding force of British Commandos were on a doomed mission – and they had no idea what was awaiting them at the camp!

Mario Galasso was a very good type indeed — brave, cool-headed and thoughtful. In battle, he would never ask his men to do anything he wouldn’t do himself.

 

But when he returned to his home village after the war, he was arrested for war crimes! And the trouble was, he seemed to be the only one who knew he was innocent…

 

The Island of Crete,1941. What did an English Nurse, a Māori soldier, a Cretan monk and a German general all have in common? They were all captured in Crete!

 

After German paratroopers descend on the island, the Allied forces, nurses and Cretan people must fight back against the invaders in any way they can. Resistance and soldiers unite, while Nurse Stavros moves over 500 wounded soldiers to a cave and tricks the Germans into feeding them — all inspired by true events!

It wasn’t that Mike Briers had really meant to desert. Not exactly. It was just that Foxy Billings had persuaded him to leave the rest of the lads so that the two of them would have a better chance of escaping the Germans.

 

So how was it that he found himself wearing civilian clothes and fighting for his life on top of a French goods train that was about to be sent to its destruction?

Paris, 1940. The Nazis have occupied the city, hope lies tattered under their oppression, and light and art have fled – or so the Germans thought. The Parisians cried aloud for vengeance and the Deathless Men – masked assassins clad in grey – answered, bringing their bloody retribution to the city of light.

 

It was now the turn of the tyrants, the murderers, the torturers and the collaborators to tremble. They could not escape vengeance, their time was coming!

 

Jim Bryant, an Englishman working in Burma, had turned traitor and gone over to the enemy. Every night he broadcast to the Allied troops in the jungle, telling them how hopeless the situation was. At first they just laughed, but soon the treacherous voice made the men angry and afraid.

 

There was only one answer to the problem — silence Bryant. And that’s where The Vengeance Squad came in... 

 

While advancing on Berlin in the wake of Germany’s surrender, British Captain Roderick Churchill contends with remaining pockets of German resistance that have yet to acknowledge their nation’s defeat.

 

Along the way, he learns the story of two young German soldiers who, while fighting in the Battle of Berlin, became disillusioned about the righteousness of their nation’s cause. But while one of these young soldiers surrenders to Churchill peacefully, his friend proves more difficult to pacify…

With resistance to the German advance in France crumbling rapidly, every Allied unit had to flee the country as best they could. Andy Blake’s lads thought they’d managed okay until their boat ran aground. The only lot who could help was a French platoon — but Andy’s squad had double-crossed them earlier.

 

Would the French save them now?

When Ron Holmes enlisted in the RAF, he didn’t seem to be very different from the other recruits who wanted to be pilots. Yet all that changed once he started flying. Few could ever hope to match his superb skill.  

Many wondered what the secret of this astonishing flyer was, but none would ever have believed his fantastic story... 

 

So, it’s not surprising the Germans have decided to take the Raiders’ methods for themselves – using desert Kubelwagens to launch their own devastating raids on the British. And the only ones who can stop them? Ramsey’s Raiders of course!

She was different from the other Lancasters, like a rogue elephant is different from the rest of the herd.

 

She was a killer plane, and sooner or later she was going to kill Don Morgan and his entire crew ...  

 

The year is 1993. Across Battleground Europe, World War III rages as the invading armies of the ASBLOC (Asian Bloc) battle the defending forces of WESFED (Western Federation).

 

At the tip of the spear are Harrier Squadron, an international allied task force of jump-jet pilots caught up in this desperate battle — but when the chance for a ceasefire lands in their laps, they must defeat a conspiracy hell-bent on continuing the conflict!

His medal ribbons showed the campaigns he had been in. The bronze oak leaves proved his bravery. He was Captain Dave Fletcher, and he was a man who thirsted for battle.

 

Then came the moment when he had to decide which was more important – grabbing more glory for himself or saving the life of a friend

Private Dave Charlton’s mates reckoned he was off his rocker. When he didn’t have his nose stuck in a book, he was grubbing about after clay tablets covered in weird inscriptions.

 

But then they changed their minds, for Dave began getting ideas from these ancient writings – ideas about how to fight a modern war – ideas that made the enemy run for their lives!

Singapore, February 1942. For days, the Japanese had thrown in everything they had to try to take the great port.

 

Finally, the city’s defenders were bombed, burned and blasted into submission. But out of the rubble walked four unbeaten men – a tinker, a tailor, a soldier and a sailor – with absolutely nothing in common except a fierce, burning hatred for the enemy.

How do you win a battle? It’s easy. You start with an ancient, paddle-driven tugboat and you steam out into the open sea. You have only some rifles on board, but a few days later you capture a Japanese torpedo boat. Then you join an enemy convoy and sink a troopship!

 

Yes, it’s that easy... as long as you’ve a will of iron, nerves of steel, and the sort of courage that heroes are made of.

Ace pilot Matt Braddock and his navigator George Bourne go east!

Joining up with the famous Flying Tigers of the American Volunteer Group in Burma, Braddock has been tasked with convincing the Yanks to get the latest British fighter-bomber aircraft – the de Havilland Mosquito, otherwise known as the Wooden Wonder.

 

But the Americans can’t believe a wooden plane is capable of going head-to-head with the Japanese, so Braddock will have to fly into the thick of it to prove them wrong!

Lieutenant Roddy MacNab was determined that his patrol would be a success. Against him he had thousands of ruthless Japanese, but on his side he had a leaky, old bucket of a submarine and a crew of ruffians on the brink of mutiny.

 

How could he lose?

Two bodies, both shot in the back at close enough range to leave burn marks on their clothing. Both men had been in no man’s land – each with a mysterious map hidden within a secret pocket…

 

Just what had Private Arthur Jones stumbled on to?

As an act of vengeance, a French carpenter set a deadly booby-trap for a cruel and heartless nobleman. But fate intervened and both men died before the trap could be sprung.

 

Now no-one knew of it, and so it lay, silent and invisible, waiting for its first victim.
