The Shepherd follows a De Havilland Vampire pilot as he makes a Christmas Eve 1957 journey from RAF Celle in northern Germany to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, only to suffer a complete electrical failure mid-flight. Stranded over the fog-bound North Sea, with dwindling fuel and no working compass or radio, he begins flying in tight triangles—an unusual pattern intended to catch radar attention and prompt an air traffic controller to “shepherd” him to the closest strip he remembers, Merriam St. George.
