On November 18, 1944, the end of the war in Europe finally in sight, American co-pilot Lieutenant Lee Lamar's B-24J Liberator Bottoms Up crashed after being hit by German fire. He was captured the next day and spent the rest of the war as a prisoner at a stalag on the Baltic Sea.

This absorbing, alternating account chronicles the story of the young men who flew Bottoms Up on her final mission, of Lamar's trip back to the scene of his recurring nightmare, and of a remarkable convergence of international courage, perseverance, and friendship.
