The Ones Who Got Away: Mighty Eighth Airmen on the Run in Occupied Europe
Shot down over enemy lines during World War II, these intrepid American aircrew had to rely on skill, tenacity, and luck to evade capture. Their stories are a testament to bravery against the odds.
Compiled from original intelligence debriefs written by the pilots themselves, this book reveals the intricate network of escape routes created by local Résistance groups and Allied intelligence agents. From false papers to hidden hideaways, these accounts offer a gripping glimpse into the risks and rewards of survival in occupied Europe.
