查理·尼尔回想起自己在部队医疗队做年轻军官的那些日子里曾登陆尸横遍野的诺曼底海岸。他告诉飞行员，他很想去看看英吉利海峡、法国北部沿岸的居民区，最重要的是，奥马哈海滩和犹他海滩。

飞行员很高兴能够达成尼尔医生的愿望。

私人747大型喷气式客机载着两名乘客从巴黎起飞，向北飞往诺曼底。自东而来的这架巨型飞机陡然向左倾斜转弯，诺曼底的沿海村庄便出现在正下方。布满白色十字架的纪念广场和广阔的沙滩呈现在他眼前。如今，那位来自维尼塔的大男孩已经是世界上最著名的肩外科医生。尼尔医生第一次来到诺曼底是45年前，那时的他还是一名战战兢兢、不谙世事的美国青年，梦想着有朝一日能够成为一名外科医生。在那期间，抗生素研发成功，联邦医疗保险通过法律生效，关节置换术问世，主要的骨科器械公司成立。现在的查理·尼尔奇迹般地乘坐着私人的波音747飞机重回诺曼底。第二次世界大战后还需要好几年才会出现商务航空旅行，当时他根本无法想象自己将来会乘坐大型私人包机返回奥马哈海滩。同样，配备了晶体管、聚合物、电线、生物材料和现代合金的植入革命，也是那么不可思议。
