"Born in Timaru in 1919, Jack [Hardie] trained as a bomber pilot in New Zealand and England during the early stages of World War II. After being shot down over Holland, he soon found himself a POW at the notorious Stalag VIII B, where airmen were shackled on Hitler's orders as retribution for the damage they had inflicted on Germany. This book tells Jack's dramatic and inspiring story..."--Back cover.
