A Higher call

The story of two pilots who fought on different sides during World War II. Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown was a former farm boy from West Virginia who flew a B-17. Second Lieutenant Franz Stigler, a former airline pilot from Bavaria, who flew a German Messerschmitt, did not want to fight in the war. Twenty-one year old Charlie Brown's badly damaged plane was struggling to fly over wartime Germany on its first mission with half the crew wounded or dead when Franz Stigler's plane came up behind him. What happened next wound defy imagination. Charlie and Franz would finally meet as old men when they felt safe discussing the situation.
