Flight to Enbetu

First published in Sky Fighters, Summer 1945. Reprinted in the collections With These Hands and The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour - Volume 4: The Adventure Stories.
The year is like 1944. Turk Madden has agreed to fly a small team of saboteurs onto Hokkaido where they will try to disrupt communications in preparation for a major air raid. Betrayal of the mission results in Madden parachuting into a city to free the now captured agents but getting out before the planned fire bombing seems impossible.
