TIL a German fighter pilot ended up escorting a heavily-damaged American bomber out of German airspace in 1943 after he saw the bomber pilot struggling with the plane and his shattered crew. After 50 years, the two pilots found each other and became close friends

That’s one hell of a meet cute
Recommend the book A Higher Call by Adam Makos.
No Bullets Fly by Sabayon is about this I think. Cool. Fucking. Band. Highly recommend
Thanks 🙏
Yeah- I just read that too. The German Ace defied expectations and he was the one that initiated the search years later. Amazing.
Cool that yours has pics
