In July 1918, twenty-nine British POWs tunneled out of the notorious German military prison camp known as "Hellminden." Their escape enraged the Germans and thrilled the Allies…and was just one of many extraordinary feats performed by patriotic men who risked their lives in the air—and later, on and under the ground—to defend England. This riveting true story about "a band of daredevil pilots and the greatest prison break of the great war" will fascinate history buffs and anyone captivated by tales of courage, persistence, and brotherhood.
