After four years of many tough battles and several close calls, the Sky Fighters and Sky Fighter Champions have achieved peace at long last! But something's amiss...Right after Gregoroth has a dream one late-January morning, he finds out Rehn is missing, presumed dead! Gregoroth's older brother Mantecado hastily leaves on some business, leaving Gregoroth to find out Rehn's fate. And if this wasn't harrowing enough, two sacred artifacts are stolen by a couple thieves, who call themselves the Anti-Sky Fighters! Who are they? What do they want with a couple of ancient artifacts, anyway? It will be up to the Sky Fighter Champions to join forces once more with each other and their Sky Fighter Bretheren and advance to the next level in the process. And speaking of unsolved mysteries, two of the original Sky Fighter Leaders are also missing in action, and have been for several years running! What has become of them? Can anyone find out if they're okay? How long will the peace truly last...?

The fated battle draws closer every day. The Sky Fighters train harder. Their sworn enemies continuously grow stronger in their efforts to outwit, outlast, and outmatch the Sky Fighters. Every time the Sky Fighters train for battle, they have to change their battle tactics and create new strategies in order to overcome their powerful and relentless foes. Though victory may be within their grasp now, the stakes are higher than they ever were before. The Python Demons are becoming more clever and unpredictable. In addition to this, they have gained a new, potential ally, who has gone from being troublesome to dangerous. And if this wasn't bad enough, tensions rise between fellow Sky Fighters and Sky Fighter Champions alike! If the Sky Fighters have any hopes of achieving peace across the Multi-Verse, they'll have to settle their differences and battle together to vanquish their mightiest foes once and for all!

The only book written by the legendary “legless” ace, the double amputee World War II fighter pilot immortalized by the film Reach for the Sky. In Fight for the Sky, Douglas Bader tells the inspiring story of the Battle of Britain from the viewpoint of “The Few.” Using superb illustrations he traces the development of the Spitfire and Hurricane and describes the nail-biting actions of those who flew them against far superior numbers of enemy aircraft. As an added bonus, other well-known fighter aces including Johnnie Johnson, “Laddie” Lucas and Max Aikten contribute to Douglas’s book, no doubt out of affection and respect. This a really important contribution to RAF history by one of the greatest—and certainly the most famous—pilot of the Second World War.

Connor Mason lived a life of privilege like no other. He was wealthy, handsome, intelligent, and for thrill and glory became the masked vigilante known as the Glider, soaring across Bulwark City on a high-tech flying machine called the hover-glider. His world was flipped upside down as he was "drafted" by a team of intergalactic peacemaking aliens called the Sky Fighters. They needed his help to take down Lord Kohl von Raumon, an intergalactic terrorist of the planet Thera, bent on conquering all four populated planets: Haret, Tareh, Thera, and Earth. When Raumon cleverly repels the super-powered Tarians, the strong weaponized Therians, and the battle-strategic Haretians, it will take the creative genius and skill of an Earthian to push him back, and only the combined forces of a Sky Fighter from each planet and the powerful Everlaster, Roivas, can bring down Raumon and his army of mutated Therians. But Raumon is not their only enemy. Natas, an evil Everlaster, is a strong force with many powers and minions under his control. When Connor is poisoned by Natas, he must conquer his own pride and face the mysteries of the past he fears or else perish at the hands of the universe's deadliest enemy. With the power of Roivas to strengthen them and his wisdom to guide them, not even Raumon will stand in the Sky Fighters' path to victory.

This widely praised study draws from both American and German sources to show how the U.S. Army Air Forces cleared the way for the successful Allied invasion of France. In 1944 a revitalized American leadership abandoned the unsuccessful approach of strategic bombing and instead focused on air superiority, practically chasing the enemy out of the sky and eliminating Germany's supply of trained pilots. Examining the people, technologies, command decisions, and key events of the war over Germany, the authors prove conclusively that the winning of air superiority -- not the success of strategic bombing -- played a more essential part in the Allied victory in Europe
