Two Winged Warriors and a Girl James Wetzel

A moralist novel of two World War II combat pilots both of Christian heritage experiencing different life influences. Dieter Mannfried, German born, was drawn into the Hitler Youth at age ten and became a dedicated Luftwaffe warrior fighting the War in the skies over Europe. Mike Mann, American born, surrendered temporarily his college life to serve in the Army Air Corps as a B-29 pilot fighting the war in the sky over Japan. Each tells his winged warrior's story. Diane Doner, who came to know Dieter and Mike intimately after the War, was led by intuition to the discovery of the matched identity of the two warriors. The story is of the diametric effects that environment, fate and the Virtues had on the lives of the two warriors.
