A German Fighter pilot, whose owns brother was killed in action recently The German pilot spares the B-17 and lets them go. The crew survives their tour of duty. The crewmen go onto civilian life and raise families. The German pilot survives the war. In the 1990's the German pilot nd the B-17 crewmen still alive make contact with each other. The crewmen bring their families to meet the pilot that spared their lives and allowed them to raise families. On December 20, 1943, in the skies above war-torn Europe, an American B-17 pilot and a veteran German fighter ace met in what became one of World War II's most unusual encounters. Two airmen of opposing nations managed to put aside the violence and hatred of armed conflict, when the German ace escorted the severely damaged B-17 to safety. Adam Makos and Larry Alexander tell this little known true story of empathy and kindness between enemy combatants in the midst of one of the bloodiest wars in history and of their continuing friendship.
