It is a compact paperback ,well written with appropriate maps and many photos to complement the story . The story itself puts a human face on the young men of both sides and reminds us of the sacrifice they made. It delves into some of their personal lives - hopes and aspirations - love and loss and the everyday struggle just to survive. Highly recommend this book to everyone.

One of the most endearing episodes of the Second World War, it brought tears to my eyes reading of the actions of one German pilot who, through his compassion for his fellow man, saved the lives of an American bomber crew. He could most easily have shot that aircraft down and claimed another kill, but instead chose to save their lives as they were sitting ducks in a badly damaged aircraft. I still get goosebumps and teary eyes when I think of this story. Highly recommended read.

This book provides a rare insight into the lives of two WW2 pilots - each with their own particular story which culminates in a unique encounter between a German fighter pilot and an American bomber crew over Germany. This true story makes compelling reading and it's difficult to put the book down once you start reading. I found the story from the German fighter pilot's viewpoint very interesting, highlighting the very difficult personal hardships faced by these overworked men - particularly during the latter part of the war. A story not to be missed!
