Grade: VG- 3.5

A harbor-saboteur team sneaks beneath piers to plant charges while sentries close in; an infantry platoon claws up a ridgeline and a green lieutenant learns to trust his veteran sergeant; a fighter-pilot story flips the spotlight to the discipline of flying wing on a flak-soaked escort; and a battered recon jeep ferries a wounded scout across flooded flats as engineers blow the pursuit bridge. One-page “life in the service” fillers break up the action, keeping the focus on ordinary GIs improvising under fire.
