Aircraft Down by Philip Caine
Aircraft Down! recounts six extraordinary evasion adventures that took place in Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Albania, and Greece during World War II. In 1944 alone, nearly 30,000 American airmen survived bailing out of or crash landing their aircraft in Europe. The great majority were captured immediately. A few lucky ones beat tremendous odds and managed to evade their Fascist pursuers.
Philip D. Caine, Ph.D., is a retired USAF pilot and history professor. As a deputy commandant at the Air Force Academy, he was responsible for SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) training. General Caine's previous books are American Pilots in the RAF and Spitfires, Thunderbolts, and Warm Beer: An American Fighter Pilot Over Europe. He lives in Monument, Colorado.
