About this ebook
Alexander Ollar, raised in Scotland, became an exceptional sporting shot and volunteered as an RAF Air Gunner in 1939. Helmut Lent enrolled for pilot training in the Luftwaffe as soon as he was old enough. Both were men of integrity and honour.
In July 1942, these two airmen meet for the first time in the night skies over Hamburg - only one will survive.
