Description

The Freedom Line: A True Story of Bravery and Rescue During World War II In the midst of war, a group of courageous individuals risked their lives to save downed Allied fighter pilots. Their secret network, known as the Comet Line, smuggled these airmen across occupied Europe to safety in Spain. From the pages of this gripping true story, we learn about Robert Grimes, an American pilot whose plane was shot down over Belgium in 1943. Rescued by the Comet Line operatives, he joined a perilous journey on foot and by bicycle that stretched hundreds of miles across France to the Pyrenees Mountains. Based on extensive interviews with survivors and archival research, The Freedom Line reveals the remarkable story of these selfless civilians who defied fear to create an underground railroad, saving hundreds of Allied airmen in the process.
