He had pieced much of the story together by the time a large envelope arrived from France. The sender hoped that Conrad might be related to a Lieutenant Netting who was credited with saving the writer's village. A memorial was planned, but villagers knew little of the pilot. An exchange of phone calls and e-mails quickly followed. The letter writer's father was the son of the village carpenter, who had pulled the pilot's body from the plane and built his coffin against the strict orders of the German Army. The parish priest conducted a secret funeral. There was more. Assured a French newspaper covering the subsequent dedication of a monument: "This is not a fable, but a true story." This book is a compelling real-life reminder that the human story is not over when a war ends.
