Now behind Nazi barbed wire, Cline and his fellow POWs must find a way to not just survive but to transcend their captivity. A moving, uplifting, true story account of an airman, B-24 bomber pilot Clair Cline, who becomes a POW in Germany during WW2.Because the real Clair Cline died years ago and rarely ever told this story in public, there were a lot of gaps left for the filmmakers to fill in on their own. The late Christopher Duffy was the foremost historian of the armies of the Seven Years War, if you have not encountered Duffy’s work, then you are in for a treat, Instrument of War is considered definitive, and essential reading for anyone interested in this period and a benchmark for solid history writing. The battles and campaigns of the Seven Years War cannot be understood without knowledge of the instruments necessary to conduct such a war. He also knows that the Fallen will do anything to hide Gabriel from the Host – even allowing an innocent girl to be kidnapped. The thing I liked most was that these airmen - well, at least one of them - showed genuine compassion for the civilians that died.
