Publisher's summary

'I could see that still no one had been able to get out from the cockpit. It must have been at this moment that I thought I was going to die because I became remarkably calm.'

Trapped inside a burning Lancaster bomber, 20,000 feet above Berlin, airman John Martin consigned himself to his fate and turned his thoughts to his fiancee back home. In a miraculous turn of events, however, the 21-year-old was thrown clear of his disintegrating airplane and found himself parachuting into the heart of Nazi Germany. He was soon to be captured and began his period as a prisoner of war. This is the engaging and enthralling true-life account of a Second World War airman who cheated death in the sky, only to face interrogation and the prospect of being shot by the Gestapo before having to endure months of hardship as a prisoner of war.

A very important first-hand account of a POW

An excellent account by an RAF radio operator who was shot down over Germany in WWII and survived his ordeal. I enjoyed this all the way through. Worth it for WWII history buffs.
