Adam Makos is one of my favorite historians. I have not read anything of his that I do not like, and this one was no exception. It is well researched and well written, the story told in a way that is engaging and leaves you longing to find out more about what happened. This particular book tells the story of a very badly damaged American bomber, piloted by a twenty one year old, as it limped across the skies of wartime Germany in an attempt to get back to Allied territory. A German ace in a fighter plane came along and assisted the bomber in getting back to Allied territory, which was an amazingly chivalrous thing to do. I loved the humanity of this book in a time where humanity seemed to be lacking. This was an amazing book.
