Description
FOR A MILLION DOLLARS, A GUY CAN GET PRETTY HEROIC...
The man they called Tiger Ten was a mean airfighter, but he was no idealist. After a high-living time as an airborne mercenary, shooting down Jap planes for the embattled Chinese at 500 dollars a kill, Riley Stone wasn't about to risk his neck for nothing. Even if this was Burma in 1942 and his native America was now at war with Japan.
The British, their airforce hard pressed by the superior Japanese Zero fighters, understood Riley's feelings when they came to him with their proposition. Go into Jap-held territory, they said. Steal a Zero. Fly it back here where we can find out what makes it so good. And we'll give you a million dollars, no questions asked.
A crazy plan, but very much Tiger Ten's style. After all, even with a million dollars, you can't buy heroism. But maybe you can rent it.
