A Higher Call: An Incredible True Story of Combat and Chivalry in the War-Torn Skies of World War II

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER: â€œBeautifully told."-CNNÂ â€¢Â â€œA remarkable story...worth retelling and celebrating."-USA TodayÂ â€¢Â â€œOh, it's a good one!"-Fox News Â A â€œbeautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies" emerges from the horrors of World War II in this New York TimesÂ bestseller by the author of Spearhead.Â 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 â€œthe most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II." The U.S. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as â€œtop 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.
