Book Description

Secondhand. Fair to good condition. Substantial wear to book covers, corners and edges. Marks on foredges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Interior and binding are still good.

This is the true story of the two pilots whose lives collided in the skies that day - the American, 2nd Lieutenant Charlie Brown, and the German, 2nd Lieutenant Franz Stigler.

A Higher Call follows both Charlie and Franz's harrowing missions and gives a dramatic account of the moment when they would stare across the frozen skies at one another. What happened between them, the American 8th Air Force would later classify as 'top secret'. It was an act that Franz could never mention or else face a firing squad. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years, until, as old men, they would seek each other out and reunite.

The story of two fighter pilots, an American and a German, whose remarkable encounter during the Second World War became the stuff of legend.
