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. 600 10 $a Brown, Charlie, $d 1912-2008 600 10 $a Stigler, Franz, $d 1916-2008 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 $x History $y 20th century $z Germany 650 0 $a Bomber pilots $v Biography $z United States 650 0 $a Fighter pilots $v Biography $z Germany 650 $a Recorded books 700 1 $a Alexander, Larry, $d 1951- 700 1 $a Dean, Robertson. 710 2 $a Blackstone Audio, Inc. 941 $a 2 945 $a cda 952 $l LIPB815 $d 20181015192040.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20130904015151.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B050CF36152711E3AA706A77DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
