While above him a British night raid is torn to shreds by some of the Luftwaffe’s ‘wunderwaffen’, Max is airdropped into Poland and taken in by local resistance. His mission: infiltrate the nearby German base posing as a replacement pilot, locate Hanna Reitsch ... and kill her! Hanna, his childhood friend, who wears the same bear tooth pendant he does. Hanna, who’s a legendary figure of the Third Reich and an exceptional test pilot...

The plot thickens as Max is infiltrates and finds what might be loosely called a "love interest".  The German body count grows and quite by accident Hanna discovers who the "new guy" is.

If you like your Second World War stories to be full of action, properly drawn uniforms and lots of military hardware then you should not pass this one!  And there is, of course, the question (after learning more about their childhood) of whether Max will kill Hanna?
