The famous story of mass escape from a WWII German PoW camp that inspired the classic filmOne of the most famous true stories from the last war, The Great Escape tells how more than six hundred men in a German prisoner-of-war camp worked together to achieve an extraordinary break-out. Every night for a year they dug tunnels. Those who weren't digging forged passports, drew maps, faked weapons or tailored German uniforms and civilian clothes to wear once they had escaped. All of this was conducted under the very noses of their prison guards. When the right night came, the actual escape itself was timed to the split second - but of course, not everything went according to plan.

A wonderful Biography of Douglas Bader, RAF pilot and ace of the Battle of Britain. He was extraordinary because both legs had to be amputated after a crash before the start of WWII and his tremendous wartime exploits and lifetime of accomplishments were with 2 artificial legs. I first read this book from my Jr high library and it has been a lifetime favorite I have re-read several times.
