Coming March 7, 2023!

Brotherhood of the Flying Coffin is the untold story of WWII's glider pilots who volunteered to land troops and artillery behind the enemy lines in fabric-covered "flying box kites." With no engines, no guns, and no second chances on one-way missions.

Upon landing, they always were surrounded by the enemy and on some missions flew in ahead of the paratroopers. A remarkable story of largely anonymous heroes who volunteered from family farms, towns the size of a single cafe, and cities to fly an aircraft not yet invented at the start of the war.
 
A new, compelling story of the Greatest Generation.
