Description
On the 8th of March 1944, Lieutenant James Keeffe was forced to bail out of his stricken B-24 bomber over Papendrecht, Holland. Thus began an incredible journey. With the help of the Dutch Resistance, he played an elaborate shell game with the Nazis, moving freely amongst them within a network of safe houses. After several attempts to return to England, "to get back into the war," Lt. Keeffe was betrayed, taken prisoner and transported under armed guard to the infamous German prisoner-of-war Stalag Luft III - site of the Great Escape.

Advance Praise
been written...I give it my highest recommendation."
Mark Copeland, Historian and Editor, 8th Air Force News
"[One of] the rare, precious memoirs that are well-researched, historically correct, and honestly
portray the wartime experiences of men who accomplished great things all the while retaining the foibles which plague all human beings."
James R. Lankford, National Historian, 14th Armored Division
"This book stands as a solid, proven first person account of the widespread courage of those
forced under the boot heel of Nazi Germany, from the oppressed northern European citizenry to the imprisoned Allied [airmen]."
Dennis D. Bailey, The US Review of Books
"This book is a must read for anyone with an interest in the plight of downed airmen during World War II."
Meg Godlewski, General Aviation News
