The Resource A higher call : [an incredible true story of combat and chivalry in the war-torn skies of World War II], by Adam Makos, with Larry Alexander, (sound recording)
A higher call : [an incredible true story of combat and chivalry in the war-torn skies of World War II], by Adam Makos, with Larry Alexander, (sound recording)
- Summary
- This is the true story of the two pilots whose lives collided in the skies that day--the American, Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown, a former farm boy from West Virginia who came to captain a B-17--and the German, Second Lieutenant Franz Stigler, a former airline pilot from Bavaria who sought to avoid fighting in World War II. A Higher Call follows both Charlie and Franz's harrowing missions during the war. Ultimately, Charlie and Franz would stare across the frozen skies at one another. What happened between them, the American Eighth Air Force would later classify as top secret. It was an act that Franz could never mention without 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 for one another, a last mission that could change their lives forever
