Unbeknownst to Kurt’s crew, the vengeful SS have taken measures to ensure that his beloved Junkers Ju 52 Iron Annie’s next flight will be her last.

Alan Blake was a Mustang pilot. An expert flyer in a brilliant aircraft. Give him Messerschmitts to tackle — he had no trouble with them. E-boats to shoot up — no problem there either.
But then came that terrible day when the stream of bullets from his guns tore into his own squadron leader…
