Twenty dramatic but true stories from World War II. Some of them defy believe, like the RAF bomber who was blown out of his plane over Warsaw without a parachute and returned in 1989 for the unveiling of a memorial on the crash site. Others defy logic, like two men of the same crew who survived a terrible crash, neither aware of the other's survival, but both saved by the tolling of the same church bell. These are gripping stories of the men who fought bravely and the adversity they faced and overcame during WWII. Illustrated with b&w photos, many never published before.
