Includes Praise for A Higher Call; Dedication; Introduction; Afterword; Acknowledgments; To Learn More; Notes; and Bibliography. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "From the horrors of the most savage war in history emerges this beautiful story of a brotherhood between enemies." - Joe Galloway, author. "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 bomber's tail. The pilot is German ace Franz Stigler - and he can destroy the young American crew with the squeeze of a trigger.What happened next would defy imagination and later be called "the most incredible encounter between enemies in World War II. The U.S. 8th Air Force would later classify what happened between them as "top secret." 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." - from the rear outer cover. "This book grips you like a movie. It's part Top Gun, part Valkyrie, and more!" - Marcus Brotherton, author.

Livre Signé
Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Jacket painting by John D. Shaw (illustrateur). The special "Higher Call" bookplate attached to FFE bears three signatures: One is that of author Adam Makos. The second is that of Hugh McGinty. We can find no reference to McGinty in this book, though we may have missed it. McGinty, who enlisted in 1941, was an 8th Air Force B-17 tail gunner flying out of Kimbolton Field, as did Charlie Brown's "Ye Olde Pub" (subject of this account.) But McGinty did not fly the Bremen raid of Dec. 20, 1943 in the "Pub," as the tail gunner on that flight was killed. McGinty remained in the Air Force through the Berlin Airlift, retiring as a Master Sergeant and penning his own memoir, "A Tail Gunner Looks Back." As he and author Makos both hail from Colorado, his attendance at an 8th Air Force-related book-signing would not be unlikely. We do not recognize the third signature, which might be "Bob Egand." The address label of a previous owner -- himself a naval aviator -- is also attached to FFE. There is a 3/8th inch tear to bottom of jacket spine where it joins the front panel. Number line 10 9 8 7 6, only -- the sixth printing. Shot up by German fighters, a straggler, one crewman dead and at least one other seriously wounded, one of her four engines shot out, one stuck at half power, and a third requiring constant shutdowns and restarts to keep it from "running away," the "Olde Pub" was a wreck. Her nose glass gone so that a freezing gale blew the length of the interior, radio out, intercom and oxygen systems failing, her left horizontal stabilizer shot away, her pilot and co-pilot passed out and she spiraled down from 25,000 to 3,000 feet, where Charlie Brown recovered and pulled back on his control column, at which point the "Pub" did what no four-engine bomber in that condition should have been able to do -- she pulled out and flew . . . directly toward the massive German coastal FLAK emplacements that she had to cross over to even start her journey home across the North Sea. And then her luck finally appeared to run out. Luftwaffe Second Lt. Franz Stigler, in a fully fueled and armed Messerschmitt 109, slid in behind the Olde Pub, where he noticed the tail gunner had been killed, and where he further could see through large holes in the fuselage the bomber's crew scrambling to tie tourniquets and save the lives of their wounded comrades. All Stigler, a fine pilot with experience in North Africa who had already shot down two B-17s that day -- had to do was finish the bomber off with a couple of bursts. In fact, he could have been court martialed for doing anything else -- especially for choosing to do something as unorthodox as escorting "Ye Olde Pub" safely across the coastal FLAK batteries and out to sea. Why on earth might any German pilot choose to do something like that? . . . 392 pp. including Notes and Bibliography -- no Index. Reduced from $90. Signed by Author(s).

Etat : new. Pages: 408 Language: Estonian. Detsember 1943. Ribadeks tulistatud USA pommituslennuk näeb sõjaaegse Saksamaa kohal kurja vaeva, et pääseda vaenlase õhuruumist. Ühtäkki võtab sellele sappa Saksa hävitaja. Selle piloot on vana lennuäss - ja ta võib ühe päästikuvajutusega hävitada nii USA piloodi kui ka tema võitluskaaslased . Mis edasi juhtub, on midagi hämmastavat. Saksa piloot ei iitsata sellest hiljem kellelegi, sest riskib sõjakohtu alla sattumisega. USA õhujõud klassifitseerivad juhtunut puudutava info ülisalajaseks. See kohtumine sõjataevas jääb aga kummitama mõlemat meest, kuni nad otsustavad 40 aastat hiljem teineteise üles otsida. "Kõrgem kutse" on haaravalt kirja pandud liigutav lugu sellest, kuidas inimlikkus võib võidutseda ka kõige julmematel aegadel. See on lugu meestest, kes sunniti olema vaenlased, ent kellest said vennad. Äripäeva kirjastuselt on varem ilmunud Adam Makose "Löögirusikas" (2020). 9789949694945.
