Remarkable survival stories from World War II highlight the resilience of aircrew who faced the loss of their aircraft. Featuring accounts of individuals like Captain R.L. Morrison, who was rescued after being shot down in North Africa, and Flight Lieutenant Charles Parish, who swam seven miles to safety after his Wellington bomber was downed, the book delves into the experiences of members of exclusive clubs like the Goldfish and Caterpillar Clubs. With over twenty gripping narratives, it sheds light on their bravery, escapes, and the gallantry awards they received.
