     Inspired by his grandparents hardships, Chuck decides to get back in the war and transfers into fighters.   He eventually winds up in England, in 1944, with the 354th Fighter Group the  first group to fly and fight over Europe in the new, revolutionary P-51 Mustang.  Whereupon, after his initial mission escorting B-17s over Germany, Chuck makes a startling discovery about the common denominator fighter pilots and bomber pilots share:  They are all condemned men living on death row.
