Freedom in the Air by Hamish Ross

Freedom in the Air is the inspiring story of a Czech airman, Vaclav Robert Bozdech, and the Alsatian dog, Antis, that flew with him in Bomber Command during WWII. Field Marshall Wavell later pinned the ribbon of the PDSA's Dickin Medal, the animals' Victoria Cross, to Antis' collar for courage and outstanding service. The Czechoslovakian 'Radio Praha' have recently interviewed Hamish Ross about his book 'Freedom in the Air' published in 2007.
