Attack #2
Attack #2 is a war anthology containing at least two stories. "Here Come the Tanks" follows a U.N. tank crew led by Captain Malone who went missing in the Grim Mountains of Korea; when they return after six days with an incredible explanation, a board of inquiry questions whether their fantastic story is believable. "Operation Bullion" depicts a January 1942 operation in which U.S. officials attempt to transport millions of dollars in gold and silver stored in Manila to safety before the Japanese can seize it, with the treasure eventually being destroyed to prevent enemy acquisition. A third story, "Fly-Boy," involves a military pilot and a combat mission scheduled for the following morning, with tensions arising among officers regarding his competence.
