Harrowing true stories of WWII Allied airmen who were shot down and survived, with maps and photos included. Allied air power made a major, arguably decisive, contribution to victory in the Second World War both in the European and Pacific theaters.

These give visual reference to the historical context of this path, proving that it is not something invented by New Age gurus.
