Subject: Pietenpol-List: Christmas ReadingSpeaking of nightime, winter approaches with a sick airplane...find yourself a copy of Frederick Forsyth's book "The Shepherd." If you can, wait until Christmas eve to read this little book -- will only take you an hour to read. Involves an RAF DH Vampire pilot flying home on late Christmas eve 1957 from abase in Germany to England ...loses his radio, compass, etc. and as his fuel supply begins to get light, the fog closes in over "merry old England." You'llhave to read it for "the rest of the story!" And it is a great story! Has beena favorite of mine for many years and I'll be reading it aloud at a local gallery on 12/23. Forsyth was himself an RAF pilot and also wrote "The Odessa File,""Day of the Jackal" and one other biggie that slips my mind at the moment...you won't be disappointed.
