Finding Humanity in the Darkness

CNN's John Blake directs our attention to the tale of Charles Brown and Franz Stigler, American and German pilots in the Second World War, respectively. Brown's plane was badly damaged in a combat run over Germany in December of 1943. While limping home, Brown noticed a German fighter off his wing. With his tail gunner dead, much of his crew wounded, and his plane badly damaged, Brown assumed death was on its way.
