The Bully
“The Bully” is a cold-war short story classic.

Pararescuemen Sam Young is lowered on the deck of the trawler and encounters the unexpected.

Another good military-themed short story, and the perfect length for the story being told; any longer and it would have dragged. A plot-driven Cold War story of a USAF Iceland-based pararescue helicopter retrieving an injured sailor from a Russian fishing boat, with lots of technical details and a great cameo appearance by the USN at the end. It could use additional proofreading, but the story's sound. Four stars.
