For six years, Britain and Nazi Germany fought a bitter battle for control of the Atlantic. Allied offensives against Hitler's armies on the continent were conditioned by their bases on the British Isles, which made air strikes and landings possible. But during 1939, the Germans began to ‘starve’ the British into surrender by cutting off vital supplies of food and equipment from the Allies. This was done with the help of U-boats that tried to sink more cargo ships than the shipyards could produce - even when these actions were suicidal. 

Ce roman relate l'histoire vraie de deux Allemandes exceptionnelles : Hanna Reitsch et Melitta von Stauffenberg.

Le début de la seconde guerre mondiale va les obliger à participer à l'effort national. Pour ces deux intrépides, ce sera la mise au point de bombardiers modernes et ultraperformants.
