Five days before Christmas 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. Suddenly a German Messerschmitt fighter pulled up on the bomber's tail -German pilot was an ace, a man able to destroy the American bomber with the squeeze of a trigger.
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.
