At 37,000 feet over North Africa, RAF Spitfire pilot John Hamilton Nicholls believed his final moments had come after a devastating attack by two German Bf 109 fighters. But instead of delivering the final blow, the Luftwaffe pilots did something no one expected. Why did they escort him home? This is a story of mercy, honor, and one of the most extraordinary encounters ever between the RAF and Luftwaffe. Led by legendary German ace Hans Joachim Marseille, the enemy fighters escorted the crippled British Spitfire across the desert and spared the wounded pilot’s life. This is the unbelievable true WWII story of honor, mercy, and one of the most extraordinary encounters ever recorded between the RAF and Luftwaffe.
