no doubt of it! it changed my mind about some of the LW pilots. of course, every faction had a lot of jerk pilots/soldiers/sailors. that man was an honorable pilot.

From what I've read, this was a single event by Stigler. He actually tried a few times to turn the bomber back towards Germany. It was a spur of the moment decision and nothing pre-planned. I believe it was his the only time he did this.
