THIS STORY STARTED during World
War II, somewhere over Germany in late
August 1944. At an altitude approaching
20,000 feet, a Boeing B-17 in formation with
approximately 700 other aircraft was heading
into the heart of Germany for a bombing
mission. At the controls, 23-year-old pilot Joe
Beshar focused on keeping his B-17 in place
with the others.
