has gloss | eng: Slipstream is a radio drama by Simon Bovey originally broadcast on BBC 7. It combines a story of a raid by British commandos into Germany during World War 2 with a science fiction story concerning a new Nazi aircraft capable of fantastic speeds, which shot down 150 Allied bombers during a bombing mission. The aircraft, which is silver and disc-shaped, may be constructed around an extraterrestrial artifact. Plot After hearing of the bomber raid disaster, Major Barton coerces the code word "Slipstream" from a German prisoner via torture, after which the prisoner dies. He persuades his commander to authorize, or at least turn a blind eye to, a commando raid on an experimental aircraft development site in Germany, where the Slipstream seems to have been built. The target is located between advancing American and Russian forces, who have their own agendas and may reach it before the British. |
