"Pilots of Fortune is a book of backstories concerning the mercenaries from Aces from hell, Devils in the Sky, and Predators of the Desert. Some may never fully understand why these pilots chose to sell their souls to the Devil and reside in Hell. The first three novels of the trilogy are out, and this is their accomplice: the book of backstories, lives long forgotten."

Fly Away - a fighter pilot story by Aleasca94

"Is it becoming your habit to run away from me?", he says as he has caught up to me and is now walking next to me on my left. I stop and he does the same. Again, I look at him and shake my head. "Lieutenant Commander Johnson with all due respect, but I am trying to hold up the courtesies. First you insist on me walking out before you. Now you are walking on my left side. I am not sure, if you are testing me, trying to get back at me or if you are plain stupid", I tell him, and he grins. Six months ago, Taylor was on a mission that went horribly wrong. She lost three people that were near and dear to her and still has to fight the aftermaths of the incident. When she receives orders to become an instructor in one of the most prestigious fighter and strike tactics programs in the U.S. armed forces, she must face her demons whether she wants to or not. Will she be able to do that? And will a certain handsome and well-spoken fighter pilot help her get through it all and become the woman she once was?

Never Yours by FroggieShroom4

'Why do you hate me so?' He asked, a crestfallen look gracing his icy, unforgiving features. "Simply because I was never yours." Rivalry was all they shared at first. Unjust and unbothered egos colliding. But then it developed into something neither expected... In which, two souls find the most unexpected thing the other has to offer. #1 in dogfight as of August 2nd 2024 #1 in climax as of January 16th 2024 #6 in tense as of March 27th 2024 *I don't claim to own Top Gun or any of the characters apart from any OC's I create along the way.* *All pictures in this book (including the cover image) were found on Pinterest so I don't own them.*

Altitude by Just-Eternal-Flame

ENJOY(this is my first story updated by the way I'm also giving warnings at the beginning... ITS A LONG STORY...) ANYONE CAN READ!! TY FOR 200 READERS I APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!

The Need For Speed || Iceman Fanfic {COMPLETED} by FutureAuthorKristan

⚠️: This isn't your usual Top Gun Fanfiction. If you don't like that, then don't read. I went to great lengths to re write this puppy. With Mav's career on the line after Goose's death, she has to make a big decision, either leave Top Gun Altogether or stay and work through it. Rivalries are ablaze as the new Rio Ghostrider is called upon to be Mavericks Rio, where as Iceman proves he's worthy of the certain female fighter pilot's attention.

Operation: Final Fleet? (Modern Warships/Ace Combat Series x Azur Lane) by Site_undetected

"Sometimes....things can be explained easily. But others? I don't think it can" (Sequel, coming soon.) [LANGUAGE ADVISORY] Ships, squadrons, and superweapons from 2 universes, one that is the modern world, and another with giant superweapons, are transported to a world where world war 2 is in. Either they can turn the tide of the war, or they will fail and everything will end is something you'll find out yourself. Since these new ships and other people are modern, they will have to adapt to the environment, but they can cooperate. One world can easily identify their new friends, while others....they'll have that hard. [AUTHORS NOTE: THIS BOOK CAN HAVE CRAPPY OR NONSENSE CHAPTERS, BUT THEY WILL IMPROVE SOONER] [SIDE NOTE: I DO NOT OWN MOST OF THE STORYLINE OF AZUR LANE NOR ACE COMBAT. THE STORY IS BASED ON MY OWN, ANY PICTURES THAT ARE PRESENT CAN BE MINE, BUT OTHERS BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS] [FINAL NOTE: THE MENTIONED ALLIANCE IN THE PICTURE CALLED: "United Allied Forces" IS MADE BY MYSELF. THIS IS A SELF GROUP FOR ROLEPLAY PURPOSES. ANYONE TRYING TO SEARCH IF THE UAF IS REAL SHOULD KNOW IT IS ONLY A SCHOOL AND NO SUCH MILITARY ORGANIZATION EXISTS. AND ANYONE TRYING TO COPY THE UAF SHOULD TAKE CREDIT FROM ME AS I AM THE ORIGINAL FOUNDER OF THE ROLEPLAY GROUP "UAF"] Since this is my first book, you can expect short chapters and the like, but since I have personal problems, expect some really unexpected chapters or the like going random.

Bird At Sea by dunkleFlamme

I do not own Azur Lane, Azure Lane is a property of Shanghai Manjuu and Xiamen Yongshi. Other materials such as music and pictures go out to their own respective creators and owners Just a couple of years before the Imperial War began. A unfortunate pilot accidentally ran into Imperials doing some testing. Seeing how they can't let the pilot let the rest of the world know, the Imperials use him as a test subject for their teleportation. This is something to preoccupy and try some things out in the mean time as I wait for criticism of my last story, which i recommend to check out, so most likely less effort will be put into this I am still unsure weather its OC or Self, though I'm starting to think that its OC.

Devils in the Sky by CrusaderACE24

Devils in the Sky is a follow on to Aces from Hell. This time our Protagonists head into midst of the ongoing South African Bush Conflict as the ongoing conflict between the UNITA and MPLA reaches a new high.This time, in the jungles of Africa, they find themselves battling not only against the likes of the MPLA, but Cuban and Soviet troops sent there to support them. A new set of dangers awaits them this time and the conflict only gets more personal both from outside and within. This time, seeking to further solidify their reputation, the Devils from the Sky return to unleash their wrath upon the enemies they have been paid to destroy! There are no rules, who wins, survives! (I would like to dedicate this story to my friend Sachin Kamanth for helping me out a lot. Without him, this story would not have been possible. Also credits to Peter Van Stigt and Deviant Art user Dantestarr for the pics)

Skies of Radiance by Karsten2022

Set in the year 2045, a world scarred by silence stirs once more. In the shadow of a forgotten war, humanity's last hope rests in the Aeroforms-humanoid embodiments of Earth's greatest aircraft, from Cold War legends to cutting-edge war machines. Created in secret and held in cryogenic stasis, these living weapons were meant to defend against a threat long dismissed as myth: an extraterrestrial race of bioengineered invaders, forged in rival labs across the globe, now turned against their creators with a singular purpose-human extinction. When one defiant scientist overrides the cryogenic protocols to awaken the Aeroforms, his sacrifice sparks the first light of resistance. Now, the Aeroforms-each tied to the history and legacy of nations like the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and possibly China-must rise from the ashes of a forgotten past to confront a relentless enemy that mirrors their own creation. The sky will burn. Steel will sing. And in the storm of war, the Aeroforms will learn what it means to be alive. (DUE NOTE: This is inspired by Ace Combat, Azur Lane, and Girls' Frontline. Don't expect me to possibly plan any sequels that are also crossovers with the two latter franchises I based this off on.)
