December, 1943: A badly damaged American bomber struggles to fly over wartime Germany. At the controls is twenty-one-year-old Second Lieutenant Charlie Brown. Half his crew lay wounded or dead on this, their first mission. Suddenly, a Messerschmitt fighter pulls up on the bomberâ€™s tail. The pilot is German ace Franz Stiglerâ€”and he can destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger...

What happened next would defy imagination and later be called â€œthe most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II.â€

The U.S. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as â€œtop secret.â€ It was an act that Franz could never mention for fear of facing a firing squad. It was the encounter that would haunt both Charlie and Franz for forty years until, as old men, they would search the world for each other, a last mission that could change their lives forever.
