Shattered Sky

Ten men. One plane. One mission: fly deep into the heart of Nazi Germany, deliver their bombs, and return home safely.

Known respectfully as "The Old Man," 26-year-old Captain Mike Perry is commanding a B-17 heavy bomber - the legendary Flying Fortress - over the war torn skies of Europe. He and his crew have been together for 18 missions, desperately hoping to survive until mission 25, and their ticket home.

But as each new operation takes the crew of the Red Light Lady deeper into Hitler's heavily defended Fortress Europe, they can no longer afford to think of the future but must live one day at a time.

On mission 19, the luck of the Red Light Lady runs out. Hit by deadly flak, their flaming ship plummeting to earth from 20,000 feet, they are forced to bail out.

Separated, alone, and uncertain if they're in friendly territory or behind enemy lines, each decision they make on their harrowing journey toward home can mean the difference between freedom or capture or worse.

Can the streetwise kid from LA stand toe-to-toe with the German Wehrmacht? Can the simple country boy from Louisiana match wits with the ruthless SS Major? Will the "Old Man" be able to bring the remnants of his tattered crew back home?
