Description

These extraordinary true stories retell the experiences of British, Canadian, Australian, and other Commonwealth airmen who survived behind enemy lines. Based on first-hand accounts and little known official debriefs, they evoke both the heroic characters and the hostile terrain they endured. Illustrated with rare photographs of evaders and their rescuers, the book also explores the organization and evasion by the shadowy Military Intelligence body MI9.
