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.

Out of the chaos of World War Two, Captain Matt Crocker of the British Commandos and his crack team had carved themselves a niche as the best of the best when it came to sabotage. It was with a grim confidence, then, that he accepted their next mission – infiltrate and destroy a Nazi-occupied power plant in the Norwegian mountains. However, the SOE’s mysterious Captain Berry insisted on accompanying, and Crocker began to worry what his ulterior motives might be. A commando’s life is never and easy one!	Tom Maguire had collected things all his life. Butterflies, antique weapons, foreign stamps… there wasn’t a corner of his bedroom that didn’t hold some unusual trophy. Then war came and Tom was sent to Burma, but he still found time for collecting… although now it was the fierce Kachin tribesmen he was interested in. He collected a whole army of them --- the fightingest bunch of men the Japanese had ever been up against!	Union Jack Jackson and his pals were on a mission to steal an experimental radar receiver from the Japanese when they hit a hurdle. The USS Red Bank, the destroyer they were going to sail away on, was sunk by Japanese suicide pilots… men who would self-sacrifice their lives to sink their enemies. So then, why was one of the pilots – Kamikaze Ken – floating, alive, in the water beside Union Jack Jackson?	Private Danny Miller was just a little bloke, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t take care of himself. No, he was a tough customer who could cope with just about anything. What he couldn’t put up with was his mate Brian who was determined to pay the little fellow back for saving his life. Because Brian’s schemes always ended up getting Danny into more trouble – no less!

The Heinkel 111 bombers laid a blanket of fire across Bristol. The blazes spread across the city and infernos raged inside houses and factories alike. Inside one, the wood burned and embers flew into Police Sergeant Eric Roe’s eyes. The foul, black smoke clawed at his lungs and the swirling flames licked at his face, singeing the flesh. Fear bubbled in his throat like bile, but clutching the young child to his chest, he had to get out – he had to survive!	They said Bob Kernot could pilot his Beaufort back to base from any point of the compass in even the worst weather. He just seemed to sniff the air and hey presto, he and his crew were heading straight for home. Bob had Roma blood in his veins. He could even see into the future and foretell what was going to happen, good or bad. And to know there’s deadly danger ahead and still fly on to meet it without flinching - that takes nerves of steel and real guts. Like Bob had...	The Libyan desert is experiencing some funny weather! Mysterious, sudden rainstorms are turning the hot sands to boggy quagmires that are beaching British tanks! But not only that, a Nazi officer has disguised himself as an Arab tribesman to sow discontent, and a German scientist has attempted to defect - something very strange is going on. Enter Lord Peter Flint – Codename: Warlord - Britain’s best secret agent, to investigate the weird happenings. A storm is brewing, and he can sense the hand of his old nemesis, Professor Kranz, is behind it all!	A cat and a rat wouldn’t normally stand a chance against a deadly cobra, would they? But when The Cat was a brilliant British agent, The Rat a cunning French thief, and The Cobra a ruthless Gestapo officer, who could tell what would happen? For the sake of the Resistance men the Nazis were intent on killing, the snake had to lose…

Corporal Charlie Shaw was in the thick of it when tanks rolled into battle during the First World War. As one of the drivers of a Mark IV Male tank, he was certain nothing could stop them taking Bourlon Ridge! But the tanks weren’t invulnerable — and soon Charlie found himself and his tank captured by the Germans! Well, Sergeant Joe Shaw wasn’t about to stand around and let them capture his younger brother and his tank — even if it meant deserting his trench and rushing headlong at the Germans to stop them!	Danny Willis was the best shot in the regiment. In fact, the NCOs who had trained him said he was the best shot in the entire British Army. When he got to the front and found himself with fighting men at last, he was all ready to show them just what he could do. But he soon discovered there was a heck of a difference between a rifle range in England and a trench in the front line in Italy.	Lieutenant Gerald Cadman, the fighting coward, once again finds himself precisely where he does not want to be — on the front lines! The arrival of the heroic and aristocratic Captain Blickley-Phipps, however, gives Cadman an idea for how to improve his station. But for Private Tom Smith, something doesn’t seem right about Blickley-Phipps. Ruthless in his quest for glory, the captain will gladly sacrifice his own men for victory. Even Scruff the dog can smell an impending disaster, but Cadman may be too distracted to find a way out this time!	These were two swords with a history. One belonged to a fearless Arab leader, the other to a heroic Foreign Legion officer. Many years ago, they had clashed as their owners fought a respected foe. Now, as the desert wastes were engulfed by the Second World War, these two fine blades were destined to clash again.

During the First World War, 1.3 million Indian soldiers fought alongside the British Army, men like Sepoy Ram Thapar and Lal Mathai who had been brought from the hot climate of India to the frozen, battle-torn wasteland of Ypres, Belgium. They were unprepared for what horrors awaited them in the muddy trenches but they met the challenge head-on, bravely roaring like lions.	Lieutenant Guy Merton was no good. As a fighting man, he was an out-and-out failure. Then something happened — something no-one else knew about — and it turned him from a coward into a first-class fighting fury!	When Huw Arthur joined the Welch regiment, it quickly became clear he wasn’t much of a soldier. He couldn’t shoot to save his life, and he wasn’t particularly brave. As far as his superiors were concerned, there was only one job he could do… For decades, the regiment had kept a goat as a mascot, and each goat had a steward — the Goat Major. Huw knew next to nothing about goats, but before long, he’d learn what it means to be a true soldier!	Warriors, that’s what they called them — men who could take on the enemy anywhere, any time, and lick him. The last thing they needed was a coward amongst them, but that’s what they got.

Caught in the chaos of the Battle of the Bulge, the 28th Infantry Division thought they had enough problems. But then, their comrades began mysteriously disappearing in the depths of the frozen forests. Tasked with finding the missing soldiers, Private Howard Kennedy and nine of his fellow troops were sent off into the snow in search of answers. What they found hidden among the frozen trees would haunt him for the rest of his days!	The sea mist clung to the three British Commandos as they paddled a rubber dinghy towards the dark French coast. Behind them, their submarine slowly vanished beneath the waves, leaving them to face any dangers that lay ahead. And of danger there would be plenty, for no plans had been made for bringing them back again!	Stranded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the surviving crew of the wrecked HMS Avon was starting to wonder whether they would ever see land again. But the sight of a ship on the horizon soon raised their hopes. Once on board the strange frigate, though, it seemed their troubles weren’t over. Not a soul was aboard the ghost ship, and some of the men were hearing things. Who was the mysterious figure glimpsed out of the corner of the eye? What had happened aboard the Zelda?	No man is completely fearless — everyone has something he’s afraid of. Take three soldiers caught up in the fighting in the jungle, each with a fear to overcome. For one it was fire. For another, tanks. And for the third, it was a dragon!
