Description
A Higher Call: An Incredible True Story of Combat and Chivalry in the War-Torn Skies of World War II In December 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany, its crew badly wounded or dead. At the controls was Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown, just twenty-one years old. A German fighter, piloted by ace Franz Stigler, closed in for the kill. What happened next would be one of the most incredible encounters between enemies in World War II. The U.S. 8th Air Force classified the events that followed as "top secret", a secret that Franz could never reveal for fear of facing a firing squad. The encounter would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years, until they finally searched the world for each other, on one final mission that could change their lives forever.
