About this product

Product Information

To survive baling out from a doomed aircraft or a crash-landing in enemy occupied territory certainly required a large element of luck. To then manage to return to Allied shores inevitably needed considerably more good fortune and often the assistance of local patriots and resistance workers. This book contains the amazing stories of over seventy such escapes, many first-hand accounts. It includes aircrew who found their way to freedom from Europe and places as far away as the Bay of Bengal. These are stories of hi-jacked aircraft, crossing crocodile infested swamps, evasion by camel and coffin, survival in the jungle and brushed with the Gestapo. AUTHOR: Alan Cooper is a well-known aviation historian and researcher. He has previously published The Men Who Breached the Dams, Beyond the Dams to Tirpitz and Bombers over Berlin. He lives in Hailsham, East Sussex. SELLING POINTS: Some of the most amazing RAF Aircrew escapes from captivity in enemy hands. Over 70 different tales. Highly respected author. 100 mono in plates
