Christmas Eve, 1957.
For one Royal Air Force pilot, one last hurdle remains between himself and a cozy Christmas morning in England. A sixty-six-minute flight in his Vampire fighter plane from Germany to Lakenheath.
A routine flight plan and a full tank of fuel. What could go wrong?
But as the fog begins to close in, the compass goes haywire and the radio dies, leaving him in silence, lost and alone up in the inky black sky.
All hope seems lost as he accepts his fate when, out of nowhere, a vintage fighter-bomber appears and is miraculously trying to make contact.
For one lonely pilot this is a miracle, but really the mystery has just begun ...

Customer Reviews
Not really what I was expecting
More like a kids comic read, complete with engraved drawings every second page. Interesting read as the technicalities of flying a 50’s jet were obviously well research. But a very thin storyline. Took less than an hour to read. Not at all what one expects from Frederick Forsyth. And expensive to boot!
The Shepherd
A good booklet and an excellent forty-five minute read. But why is it priced so high at £5.49
