Chapter I. STRANGE CALL
The plane was an HE 111K. Which meant that it had two Junkers Jumo twelve-hundred-horsepower
engines and could do maybe three hundred miles an hour at an altitude of twenty thousand feet. A crew
of four and a machine gun for each man. Bomb load: Four thousand pounds. Designed as far back as
1935тАФwhen it masqueraded as a twelve-seater airlinerтАФthis was the plane that became the key
machine on which the Luftwaffe was built up.

Heinkel bomber.

A bad kind of wolf to have chasing you.

Monk Mayfair, who was as homely as a noteworthy mud fence, spoke to a boy from Kansas who was
the pilot of their plane. тАЬWhy don't you do something?тАЭ Monk asked.

The Kansas boy nodded toward the pursuing Heinkel. тАЬYou mean about old apple strudel back there?тАЭ

тАЬSure.тАЭ

The Kansas boy gave the throttles a comfortable bump or two with the palm of his hand. The throttles
already were open as far as they would go. тАЬWe're outrunning him,тАЭ he said, тАЬthe way a Kansas cyclone
outruns a mule.тАЭ
When Monk Mayfair was excited, he had the habit of bellowing, and now his bellow was special.

тАЬThat's the trouble!тАЭ he yelled. тАЬWhy outrun him? Why not turn around and knock some feathers off?
Why run?тАЭ
