Grade: FN- 5.5

An infantry squad forces a night river crossing under flares to silence a hidden gun line; a rookie fighter pilot learns to stick to his leader on a flak-soaked bomber escort; a combat-engineer team works through trip-wires and booby traps to keep a bridge from being blown; and a tank-destroyer crew uses smoke, terrain, and nerves to outfox a heavier panzer on open ground. One-page “service life” fillers punctuate the issue, keeping the focus on ordinary GIs improvising under fire.
