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. There are stories of hi-jacked
aircraft, crossing crocodile infested swamps, evasion by camel and
coffin, survival in the jungle and brushes with the Gestapo.
