Imagine yourself, only 19, in the ball turret of a Flying Fortress. Flak tears through the fuselage. The plane dives into a death spiral. Never trained to use a parachute, you jump out upon the sky, pulling a ripcord of hope. Below lies a patchwork of French fields, occupied by Nazis. This is the true story of a WWII aviator, shot down, then escaping from the Germans to tell his tale.
