Description: This book will be shipped securely protected in a sturdy box TRUE STORY OF CHIVALRY & KINDNESS IN THE BRUTALITY OF WAR WHILE WARS BETWEEN NATIONS are usually settled with major movements of armies and weapons, it is often the individual acts of extreme bravery and chivalry that provide the most memorable stories. This book, an international bestseller by Adam Makos with Larry Alexander, tells one of those stories - how an ace German fighter pilot spared the lives of the crew in a stricken American heavy bomber.The incident took place a few days before Christmas 1943 when Luftwaffe pilot Lt. Franz Stigler intercepted a severely damaged bomber piloted by Lt. Charlie Brown, half its crew wounded or dead. Instead of destroying the American plane - which was his duty to do - Stigler guided it to safety as it struggled to stay airborne. It was an episode that remained a secret until after the war ended.
