Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has redacted their details from title page.

These are stories of twenty-two Allied airmen shot down in World War II over Europe, their survival in prisoner of war camps, their attempts to escape, and their final liberation.

Written by the men, they are unique accounts of unique experiences that only they can fully understand. Nonetheless, they describe vividly how they escaped from doomed aircraft, the day-to-day life of the camps and marches, the comradeship, humour and ingenuity that helped them to survive, and the tragedies that they saw. (publisher blurb)

Foreword by Sir Francis Burt.
