Peter Tunstall's unforgettable memoir of his days in the RAF and as one of the most celebrated of all British POWs.

Trade Review

'A remarkable memoir of a British lad's salad days flying bombers against the Nazis and then repeatedly escaping their prison camps... An engrossing valediction to the tough, imaginative generation forged by the war' Kirkus Reviews


'The historical account of behind-the-scenes drama makes this a valuable addition to the period literature' Publishers Weekly


'The story is not sugar coated to make things lighter than they were. The stark reality of war is ever present in his detailed accounting of life as a prisoner of war. We are taken through the highs and lows of not only each failed attempt but the psychological effects of imprisonment on himself, others in the camps and ultimately how it changed each person involved' Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
