It was the summer of 1940, and the whole of France was thrown into utter confusion as the invading German troops advanced relentlessly, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction behind them.

The end was near for Bertrand Duval. Since the days of the French revolution, his family had wrongfully claimed inheritance of the Chateau de Lauronne, and the title and power that went with it. Now he had added another crime to his list… he had made friends with the German invaders of his country. But […]
Off they went on another mission, heading steadily into the burning wilderness of the North African desert. They had made many trips like this… but today was different because this time they had a spy in their midst, reporting their every move to the enemy. Hardly any of these brave men were going to come […]
The Fairey Swordfish wasn’t much to look at. Not many men would have chosen to risk their lives in these slow, obsolete kites that looked as if a sparrow could knock them out of the sky. But the Swordfish could carry a torpedo — evil, menacing, packed with high explosive. And with an ace like […]
