Synopsis:
While flying solo over contested French airspace, Olaf is shot down by a German pilot. He survives the crash, but his ribs are injured. Olaf makes his way to the nearby French village where he learns that the local bartender Maurice is telling tales about being a former Blackhawk. Olaf plays along with Maurice's tale and receives medical attention.

When the German pilot lands and follows Olaf to the village, he learns the villagers tell him that the bartender is a Blackhawk. Olaf comes to Maurice's aid, but due to his injury, he loses the fist fight. Before the German can pull his gun and shoot Olad, Maurice saves Olaf by shooting the Nazi in the back. Olaf departs after making Maurice an honorary member of the team.
