Description
A Halifax bomber crew's secret war with 148 (SD) Squadron is revealed in this true story. In 1944, the crew was forced to bail out during a supply drop in southern Poland, but they were sheltered and protected by Polish and Russian partisans who risked everything for their safety. The crew's survival was a remarkable feat, made possible by the bravery of those who helped them. They became the first RAF crew to be repatriated through Russia, marking a significant moment in their journey back home. This book tells the story of the personal cost of war and the extraordinary acts of kindness that can make all the difference between life and death.
