Description
No Ordinary Pilot: One Young Man's Extraordinary Exploits in World War II
Group Captain Bob Allen's official flying log revealed a shocking truth: "KILLED IN ACTION". For decades, he kept his wartime experiences hidden from family and friends. Now, his daughter Suzanne Campbell Jones brings to light the gripping story of an ordinary pilot who lived an extraordinary life.
From joining up at 19 to flying Hurricanes over the Channel, and later Typhoons on D-Day, Bob's story is one of bravery, sacrifice, and survival. Detailed research sheds new light on his experiences in West Africa, POW camps, and the infamous Stalag Luft 3.
