Sergeant George Ward, British dispatch rider, was roaring back to his base in France after a routine delivery job and looking forward to bacon and eggs. Ahead of him the road swung round a long, fast curve and into a dark forest — and what happened when George raced into that wood was to give […]
He was the rear gunner of a Lancaster and was just completing his latest tour of operations. In fact this was his last trip before going on leave. But he never got that leave. Instead he found himself in France, on his own, and with the enemy approaching rapidly. The situation was desperate enough — […]
Jago… there is a curse upon all who bear that name. In a small Cornish village, all who know that name know it has a hoodoo upon it. Cursed by a drowning man’s words, any Jago who dares set sail on the seas off the Cornish coast, is doomed to die as he did — […]
These were Captain Robert Sutton’s orders as he and his men parachuted into enemy‑held territory in Algeria. It was a race against time, for the Nazis were equally determined to destroy the bridge. Luck went against the British paratroops. Firstly they had been forced to fight all the way, and now when it seemed they […]
August 1942. Raging metal burned hot under the scorching desert sun. But a grudge between two Aussie tank commanders boiled even hotter.

The supplies dropped into the Burmese jungle were vital to the Chindits, but pilot Roy Raven found these routine operations lacking in excitement. It even seemed fairly tame playing taxi driver to a demolitions expert sent out to destroy an enemy tunnel. However, things heated up when Roy’s Dakota was shot down and he […]
Follow the trail of red, he-man blood into the white heat of the man-killing Western Desert, and you’ll come across a hero… a little runt of a hero called Hank Hale, the one they all laughed at. All, that is, except the Nazis he met up with in the desert. For dead men seldom smile… […]
All manner of men took to the perilous skies in 1940, determined to defend the British Isles from Goering’s fearsome aircraft armada.
