"The Tides of War" is about two men, Lenny Dawson and Frank
Billups. Lenny is a teenager and Frank is his Sunday school
teacher. Unusual circumstance bring them together again during WW
II flying B-17 bombers. Their trials and exploits during WWII bring
both to Germany after they are shot down. They pass themselves off
as German citizens and are taken into the German Luftwaffe. Both
hope to return to their base in England by flying away in a German
plane. While in Germany both meet German women and a love story
develops for both.
The Luftwaffe quickly learn that they are superb pilots and they
are promoted and sent to the eastern front where they engage the
Russians. Both eventually fly a plane back to England before the
war ends.
Dawson is reassigned with his American unit and is shot down
once more over Germany near the end of the war. He is put in a
German prison that the Russians later capture. He is then sent to
Siberia where he makes a daring escape nearly two years after his
captured.
Billups' service with the Luftwaffe is discovered by the CIA and
they want to charge him with treason. Only his commanding general
is able to save him.
After the war they return to America and both apply and receive
jobs flying commercial airliners for Global Air. However, over the
Caribbean Ocean they crash land in the ocean and are set
adrift.
They eventually land on an island that has been a secret base
for German U-boats and are received warmly by the natives.
The story concludes with Dawson and Billups helping the natives
develop the island as a resort.
