...engineer with his gun butt. The other pressed his revolver against Pilot Ryszard Dabrowski's neck and told him to head for West Berlin. Two Soviet MIGs screamed up alongside the IIyushin-18 turboprop, but not even their buzzing could dissuade the hijackers. When the plane landed at Tegel Airport in the French sector of West Berlin, they handed over passports and guns (which turned out to be unloaded) and announced: "We are asking for asylum...
...anti-Nazi German Protestant theologian who was executed in 1945 for taking part in the plots against Hitler, rests primarily on the Letters and Papers from Prison he wrote to friends and family. In these cryptic messages, most of them smuggled out of his cell in Berlin's Tegel Prison, Bonhoeffer outlined a new kind of secular theology for a "world come of age" that has become the axiomatic premise for post-Christian thought.

By sticking tightly to proper headings, noting elapsed time and speed, the pilots should have no trouble hitting West Berlin. Once there, haze-piercing, coded ground lights could direct them into Tegel with no complex letdown pattern. Tunner's key to a successful lift in bad weather: discipline must be rigid; the pilot can have almost no discretion...
