Frank Farr learned the hard way that a rip cord is not infallible when you have to open a parachute. He survived that lesson to spend six months in German prison camps after the Massacre at Merseburg Nov. 2, 1944. He notes here that young men sequestered away from all womankind dont always talk about girls. Starve them enough, and they talk about food instead. Read how World War II flyers in German prison camps passed the time (books, games music), what they talked about (food, girls and flying) and what they dreamed about (family, loved ones and freedom).

Kenneth W. Simmons was a bombardier on board one of the B-24 liberators of 389th Bombardment Group stationed in Europe during the Second World War. As the war ground to a close he had the sheer bad luck to be shot down in October 1944 near Bad Kreuznach and was captured and made prisoner of war. In this book he gives a vivid description of the life of POWs in the American section of Stalag Luft III (in what is now Poland) during the final months of the war, ending with the winter forced-march away from the camp, escaping the advancing Russian troops, and eventually being liberated.

Oscar G. Richard - a native of Sunshine, Louisiana -was not the usual World War II serviceman. After enlisting in the US Army Air Corps in 1942 and training diligently for many months, the B-17 bombardier spent only one week in combat. On his third and last mission - on January 14, 1944 - his plane was shot down over France and he was imprisoned by the Germans. Thus, like many in the Eighth Air Force in late 1943 and early 1944, he spent most of the war not in combat but in captivity. In this memoir, Richard describes his wartime experiences both before and after his capture, recounting the transformation of a fresh-faced recruit into a seasoned POW. Offering insight into the early days of soldier life, he chronicles his enlistment, the months he spent waiting on the home front for induction, and his training at various sites in the American West. He gives accounts of his bombing missions and relives his parachute escape from his doomed plane and his subsequent seizure. The book relates the path that most German-held POWs, or "kriegies", took after capture: from the front lines to solitary confinement and interrogation at Dulag Luft, through a long and uncertain journey through Germany, to the final destination - for Richard, Stalag Luft 1, near Barth on the Baltic coast.

Kriegie, first published in 1960, is the World War Two account of American airman Kenneth Simmons (8th Air Force) who was forced to bail out after his B-24 aircraft was damaged on a bombing run over Germany. He describes his capture and imprisonment as a 'kriegie' (prisoner-of-war) at Stalag Luft II. The book is filled with details of prison life and the complex organization established by the prisoners to help ensure their survival, and to maintain healthy conditions and order. Escape plans are made and tunnels constructed. Near the end of the war, and in the cold of winter, the prisoners are moved on foot to a new location in Germany in what became a "death march" with many prisoners dying or extremely ill. In late April 1945, units of General George Patton's Third Army reach the camp, and prepare the men for their journey back to the United States.

A descendant of early pioneers of New South Wales, James Rowland combined a thirst for adventure with a strong sense of duty. Aged just 22, he became a Lancaster pilot in the elite Pathfinder force, flying 34 missions over occupied Europe and being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. In January 1945, he was the only survivor of a collision with a Canadian aircraft over Germany. After narrowly escaping being shot as a spy, he spent the rest of the war as a POW. Returning to the RAAF in 1947, Rowland was a test pilot during the early years of the supersonic era, and played a leading role in the Mirage procurement. His leadership qualities and technical expertise saw him become head of RAAF engineering in 1972, and, in a controversial appointment, Chief of the Air Staff in 1975, the first and still the only engineer to head the RAAF. In 1981, Rowland was appointed Governor of New South Wales, a position he held with distinction for eight years. A brilliant pilot and aeronautical engineer, who combined a strong commitment to duty with a great sense of fun, Rowland has a well-earned place among the great leaders of the RAAF.
