You guys are too much!.
I read about a book a week and more often than not are factual WW2 or other war stories including Nazi Holocost stuff..
The best are often from Pilots shot down who spend the rest of the war in prison camps or fighting w/ the resistance..
Currently I'm into an espionage book that's been a hard read through the early days of Egypt etc but getting good now!.

That reminds me...another good read, The First Heroes: The Extraordinary Stor... War II Victory. I'm partial to this book because of it's insight into the B-25, my favorite WW2 aircraft [my grandfather armed B-25s in the south Pacific].

Over the Summer I finished a book called &quot;Escape From Davao: The Forgotten Story of the Most Daring Prison Break of the Pacific War&quot; by John D. Lukacs. Great book!! Author reconstructs the WWII POW escape by 10 Americans from the Japanese-occupied Philippines. FDR expressly delayed release of the news until it coincided with a war-bond sales drive nearl a year after they had escaped which really sickening. These guys were trully the greatest generation. Pick up the book you will love it.

Hi Pete;
If you're into the WWII escape stories try UNDER THE WIRE, a true story about an aviator, the name of the novel gives you an idea of the subject matter. Enjoy.
