The Great escape, - 65 years
« on: March 25, 2009, 03:44:44 AM »
Yes, it's been 65 years. Been reading a lot of books of the various escape attempts. While this one was good, there were better ones. And the ending was sad.
Hope this picture shows up, - survivors re-uniting:

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Mr Tommy Thompson lived just down the street from me when I was a child.

 Unfortunately he wouldn't talk about the war so I never had the pleasure of hearing his stories.Apparently he was deeply troubled by his memories!

One of my favorites.

If Hilts had been real, there's no doubt he'd have been a P-38 pilot.
