Product Description
Often quoted as the model for the Steve McQueen character in "The Great Escape", by age 21, Ken had already trained to be a pilot officer; flown 56 hair-raising bomber missions by night over Germany; taken part in the siege of Malta; got married; been shot down into a remote Norwegian lake; and been captured, interrogated and sent to Stalag Luft III. He took part in and survived the Great Escape and then the forced March to Bremen. This is truly a real-life adventure story, written with accuracy, pace and drama.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"'In an age obsessed with C-list television celebrities battling it out on phoney "reality" survival shows, Rees and his dwindling band of Great Escapers stand out as the real thing.' The Daily Telegraph 'Written in frank, warm and readable style, this is a very engaging account of a remarkable life.' New History 'A brave man's memory. Hear the fear yet take succour from the courage.' North Wales Chronicle"
