Adler
(by René Sterne)

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.
