Synopsis

The Last Dragon of Steeple Morden is an incredible story of survival. Chicago's Top Fighter Pilot in World War II is shot down, deep behind German lines, in the apocalyptic twilight of the war. What happens over the subsequent two weeks tests the young pilot's resolve to survive and affirms mankind's propensity for severe brutality as well as its overwhelming capacity for compassion in the face of death. One of the most fantastic aspects of this story is that it is all true.
