The stories

“Chivalry!”

In aerial combat during World War I, there were laws.....unwritten laws......rules of conduct by which pilots on both sides lived and died. Lt. Horst Viegel was a pilot that didn't abide by these rules and he paid the price for it.

“Revenge”

Captain Warren, while recovering in a hospital from wounds, falls in love with his nurse. However, when she is killed in an air raid by Rustow's Circus, Warren confronts his commanding officer, demanding that he be assigned again for combat duty so he can take on Rustow. While on a sortie and now lacking ammo, he spots Rustow and decides to ram the enemy's plane. Even though Warren dies, he has avenged his sweetheart's untimely death.

“Locker 9”

Burt had longed for the day when he would be invited to be a pilot for the famed Lafayette Escadrille instead of being in the horrid, muddy trenches on the ground. He longed for the freedom of soaring in the air like a bird, and, one day, he gets his chance. Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that he is replacing a downed pilot, Lt. Blackton, whose locker he know inherits.
