Description:
<DIV><B>A suspenseful and witty memoir of an American World War II fighter pilot shot down over France and his outrageously brave adventures behind enemy lines.</B><BR /><BR /> A daredevil aviator in the famed 352nd Fighter Squadron, Ted Fahrenwald bailed out of his burning P-51 Mustang two days after D-day and was launched on a thrilling adventure in Occupied France. After months living and fighting with the French Resistance, he was captured by the Wehrmacht, interrogated as a spy, and interned in a POW camp&mdash;but he made a daring escape just before his deportation to Germany.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Despite Fahrenwald&rsquo;s harrowing experiences, nothing diminished the ace&rsquo;s talent for spotting ironic humor in even the most aggravating or dangerous situations&mdash;and nothing stopped his penchant for extracting his own improvised, and sometimes hilarious, version of justice.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Recently discovered but written shortly after the author&rsquo;s discharge and return to the United States, <I>Bailout Over Normandy</I> is a remarkable memoir that reveals a rare literary talent. This WWII page-turner is an audaciously humorous tale of daring and friendship that brings vivid life to the daily bravery, mischief, and intrigues of fighter pilots, Resistance fighters, and allies in the air and on the ground.</DIV>
