À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Four days before Christmas in 1943, a badly damaged American bomber struggled to fly over wartime Germany. At its controls was a twenty-one-year-old pilot. Half his crew lay wounded or dead. It was their first mission. Suddenly a sleek, dark shape pulled up on the bomber's tail--a German Messerschmitt fighter. Worse, the German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber 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. 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. Charlie would face takeoffs in English fog over the flaming wreckage of his buddies' planes, flak bursts so close they would light his cockpit, and packs of enemy fighters that would circle his plane like sharks. Franz would face sandstorms in the desert, a crash alone at sea, and the spectacle of one thousand bombers, each with eleven guns, waiting for his attack.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.

An inspiring dual biography...A vividly detailed account of German fighter operations in Western Europe and the training and blooding of an American bomber crew., Makos and Alexander create a vivid account of the lives of pilots during the war and recreate with riveting power their combat missions., It is often said that 'war is hell'--and it is--however, this story reveals how the human spirit can shine in the darkest hours. A Higher Call is an eye-opener., A Higher Call exemplifiesbeautifully the brotherhood of warriors and will forever change how you look atWorld War II., 'Can good men be found on both sides of a badwar?' The author asks the question and delivers the answer. Apowerful, haunting read., A top-notch narrative...of the German fighter pilots living on the edge and the American bomber crews, far from home, fighting to survive. The book is a riveting story., From the horrors of the most savage war inhistory emerges this beautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies. Simplytold, splendid, and well worth the read.

True Americana, This book may be used but it is barely used, I suspect if this seller says it is in "Good" condition, it most definitely is in good condition or better. I am very happy with this purchase.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Great story and narration

    An epic audiobook about camaraderie among “foes”. This is a true story. I know a museum curator who told me about them in Washington DC at the Dulles museum, this, before the book was even written. He met them. It’s an epic. I have heard at least 300 audiobooks. This one is in my top 5.
