Stories about raids (7)
I believe the answer is:
sorties
'raids' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'stories about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'stories' anagrammed gives 'SORTIES'.
(Other definitions for sorties that I've seen before include "charges" , "Operational flights made by aircraft" , "short trips" .)
