Interesting Story from WWII

[NineLine]

This is a very interesting story from WWII, what makes it even more interesting for me is Franz Stigler lived very close to me here in Canada up till 2008 when he passed away.

There's a youtube video with interviews and the pilots meeting each other, if I remember correctly...

I´ve read the book a couple weeks ago and can´t praise it enough. Easily among the five best books I have ever read in my entire life. The first book that actually made me cry (not because of that one moment, but because of... ah well, read it yourself ;)).

 

Awesome, awesome, awesome book. If you have even just a slight interest in aerial combat, you cannot pass this book. Just check out the customer reviews over at Amazon. More than a thousand reviews, and the book scores a rock solid rating of five stars.

 

Trust me, buy it! You will LOVE the book.

Yup, was planning on picking up the book next chance I get.

Never heard of that remarkable story, but I just followed Cookie's advice (again) and ordered the book. :thumbup:

WOW! If it's not a hoax then that is a remarkable story; the kind of war story I like.

The older I am the more I like the stories where somebody refused to pull a trigger.
