He often admitted that his special method of landing wrecked more planes than he shot down. Previous owner's name; scuff on DJ spine, light edgewear to DJ. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 211 pages; 26868

Life in a German prison-of-war camp in 1943 was not one of unparalleled comfort and ease. If, therefore, a sinister German officer came round, picked you out from your fellow men, and suggested that you went back to England and spied for them, , you thought twice about it. And the second thought was that once you got there you could give yourself up to the nearest familiar old British copper, couldn't you? What a perfect way to get back to the family. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 287 pages; 25431
