I came to know about Charles Brown through Brown Stigler incident and is an exceptional story of chivalry in war times, my respect to both the pilots. Reading their story reminded me of a Pakistani pilot Qais Hussain who shot down an Indian plane in 1965 and after 46 years he wrote a letter to his daughter and expressed remorse. Soldiers fight the wars for their country's honour but in the end they are humans.

My husband went to a family reunion last Sunday and found out his cousin was Hugh Eckenrode. He was the tailgunner on the Ye Olde Pub that Charlie Brown flew. Charlie was an amazing man and I am currently reading A HIGHER CALLING. It's an amazing story.

JESUS was with Charles L. Brown on that faithful day. He also put compassion in the heart of the German airman. God is so Good! He blessed both men with a beautiful long life. ❤
