A suspenseful and witty memoir of an American World War II fighter pilot shot down over France and his outrageously brave adventures behind enemy lines.
A daredevil aviator in the famed 352nd Fighter Squadron, Ted Fahrenwald bailed out of his burning P-51 Mustang two days after D-day and was launched on a thrilling adventure in Occupied France. After months living and fighting with the French Resistance, he was captured by the Wehrmacht, interrogated as a spy, and interned in a POW camp”but he made a daring escape just before his deportation to Germany.
Despite Fahrenwalds harrowing experiences, nothing diminished the aces talent for spotting ironic humor in even the most aggravating or dangerous situations”and nothing stopped his penchant for extracting his own improvised, and sometimes hilarious, version of justice.
