The Ones Who Got Away: Mighty Eighth Airmen on the run in Occupied Europe With Bill Yenne Part of the Shot Down - Air Crew and POW stories series on WW2TV    • Shot Down - Air Crew and POW stories   Part of our 8th Air Force series on WW2TV    • 8th Air Force Week   To be an airman in the Eighth Air Force flying over the war-torn skies of Europe required skill, tenacity, and luck. Those who were shot down and evaded capture needed all of that and more if they were to make it back to friendly lines. These are a few of their stories. Each is compiled from the original intelligence debrief written by the pilots or aircrew themselves. Our guest will explain how a spider web of escape routes sprang up, created by the local Résistance. Downed airmen were clothed, given false papers, and hidden so they could be smuggled back to England. These efforts were then supplemented by Allied intelligence agents. But the risks remained the same. Capture could mean death. Bill Yenne is the author of ten novels and more than three dozen non-fiction books, his most recent being America's Few: Marine Aces in the South Pacific (Osprey, 2022). His work has been selected for the Chief of Staff of the Air Force Reading List. He is the recipient of the Air Force Association's Gill Robb Wilson Award for the “most outstanding contribution in the field of arts and letters [as an author] whose works have shaped how thousands of Americans understand and appreciate air power.” He lives in California, USA.
