Jet Fighters #7
An anthology issue featuring multiple aviation-themed stories set during the Korean War. "Tailpride Tuttle" depicts a clumsy pilot making his first successful flight in a red plane. "Robot Raiders" describes the U.S. Navy's experimental use of remote-controlled robot aircraft equipped with television eyes and electronic gadgets to attack enemy targets in Korea, with one robot hellcat destroying a tunnel and enemy positions. A third story follows a pilot engaged in aerial combat who crash-lands in the ocean after being damaged during a low-altitude hunting run on enemy forces.
