Summary
Beyond the Call tells the extraordinary true story of American pilot Robert Trimble who undertook a dangerous covert mission during World War II. Operating behind Soviet lines in Eastern Europe, Trimble risked his life to locate and rescue Allied prisoners of war stranded in remote regions after the Nazi retreat. Flying through treacherous conditions and navigating Cold War tensions with Soviet authorities, he saved dozens of POWs who might otherwise have been forgotten. Written by his son Lee Trimble, the book reveals a little-known chapter of wartime heroism and one man's determination to bring fellow soldiers home.
