About this audiobook
Captain Thomas Calhoun can feel a nick in a Thunderbolt’s wing with his eyes closed. Six flags ride the cowling. Over France he is ice: flak, fighters, a squadron that takes off behind him and does not always come home. Then the war ends. Home is a farm and a silence he cannot fly through. The body that survived the missions will not take the cockpit. A woman in England, a friend with a Cub, and a load that should have stayed on the ground pull him toward a fall no flak gun ever managed. Some eagles fall in combat. Some fall when the engines stop and the world expects them to walk.
When Eagles Fall is a novel of the air war and the peace that followed, written close to the men who flew it.
