Hell Above Earth: The Incredible True Story of an American WWII Bomber Commander and the Copilot Ordered to Kill Him

by Stephen Frater

In the hellish skies over Nazi Germany, U.S. Captain Werner Goering—nephew of Hermann Göring—thrived on the adrenaline of combat. But with the threat of capture looming, J. Edgar Hoover issued a secret order: if Goering's plane went down, a sharpshooter would ensure he wouldn’t survive. This unlikely friendship between Goering and B-17 instructor Jack Rencher unfolds in a riveting untold WWII story.
