Adler
(by René Sterne)
See also: Comic Errors
The years after the second World War. Adler is a German, but he's not really proud of what was done in name of his country. More: he's a deserter, he ran when the things he saw conflicted too much with his conscience. He was a pilot, and that's what he's doing now too, for a small private airline. If he's not involved in all sorts of adventures, of course.
