Synopsis
On December 20, 1943, in the skies above war-torn Europe, an American B-17 pilot and a veteran German fighter ace met in what became one of World War II's most unusual encounters. Two airmen of opposing nations managed to put aside the violence and hatred of armed conflict, when the German ace escorted the severely damaged B-17 to safety. Adam Makos and Larry Alexander tell this little known true story of empathy and kindness between enemy combatants in the midst of one of the bloodiest wars in history and of their continuing friendship., THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: "Beautifully told." --CNN - "A remarkable story...worth retelling and celebrating."-- USA Today - "Oh, it's a good one!" --Fox News A "beautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies" emerges from the horrors of World War II in this New York Times bestseller by the author of Devotion , now a Major Motion Picture. December, 1943 A badly damaged American bomber struggles to fly over wartime Germany. At the controls is twenty-one-year-old Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown. Half his crew lay wounded or dead on this, their first mission. Suddenly, a Messerschmitt fighter pulls up on the bomber's tail. The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler--and he can destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger... What happened next would defy imagination and later be called "the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II." The U.S. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as "top secret." It was an act that Franz could never mention for fear of facing a firing squad. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years until, as old men, they would search the world for each other, a last mission that could change their lives forever., THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: "Beautifully told." --CNN - "A remarkable story...worth retelling and celebrating."-- USA Today - "Oh, it's a good one " --Fox News A "beautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies" emerges from the horrors of World War II in this New York Times bestseller by the author of Spearhead .
