Thanks, Adam.  There's a book about the event, well worth reading: "A Higher Call" by Adam Makos. It recounts the true story of a German Luftwaffe fighter pilot, Franz Stigler, who encountered a damaged American B-17 bomber during World War II and chose not to shoot it down, instead escorting it to safety.
