Shot down and on the run

More about the book

"This book tells some of the epic stories of RAF and Commonwealth aircrews who got out from behind enemy lines, across all theatres of the Second World War. They include the Halifax pilot shot down in northern Germany who walked and cycled over 1,000 miles to arrive safely in Barcelona two months later; the Baltimore navigator brought down in Italy who had to hide in a bush for three days before escaping over mountains to reach friendly lines; the Wellington crew rescued after a 28-day 400-mile trek through the African desert; the Beaufighter crew who survived for a month behind Japanese lines; and others picked up by Royal Navy Motor Gunboats from under the noses of enemy troops."--Jacket
