The anthology format continues with several self-contained WWII tales. An infantry platoon must cross open ground to knock out a hilltop machine-gun nest while a new lieutenant earns his stripes; a bomber crew tries to bring a shot-up plane home on two engines and learns the value of the tail-gunner’s cool head; a lone combat medic slips between lines to pull a wounded scout back before dawn; and a tank destroyer team uses smoke, speed, and a decoy run to lure a heavier panzer into an ambush. One-page service-life fillers break up the stories, keeping the focus on ordinary GIs improvising under fire.
