A Higher Call follows both Charlie and Franz's harrowing missions during the war. Ultimately, Charlie and Franz would stare across the frozen skies at one another. What happened between them, the American Eighth Air Force would later classify as top secret. It was an act that Franz could never mention without 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 for one another, a last mission that could change their lives forever. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Aerial operations, American. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Aerial operations, German. 650 0 $a Bombing, Aerial $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Bomber pilots $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Fighter pilots $z Germany $v Biography. 600 10 $a Brown, Charlie, $d 1912-2008. 600 10 $a Stigler, Franz, $d 1916-2008. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Alexander, Larry, $d 1951- $4 aut 700 1 $a Dean, Robertson. $4 nrt 941 $a 10 945 $a cdab 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804022137.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210902012543.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323020833.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204063311.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110045243.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190202010331.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719023201.0 952 $l MTPB743 $d 20180711031651.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20140305015756.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20140115011440.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9C7C6558AE3711E2ADF40BD6DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IM9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
