Under the Wire: The bestselling memoir of an American Spitfire pilot and legendary POW escaper

Brendan Foley

Read Download
An enthralling memoir of WWII adventure: fighter pilot, fugitive in Paris, Gestapo prisoner, and ultimately a great escape artist, Bill Ashs story is unforgettable. From the lean days of Depression-era Texas to the thrill of being one of the few who flew Spitfires, from a death-defying crash landing in Occupied France to capture and torture by the Gestapo, imprisonment in the Great Escape camp, Stalag Luft III, and years spent becoming a serial escape artist, this is the wartime memoir of a true hero, a real-life Cooler King. Recounted in a wonderfully honest and self-deprecating voice, William Ashs Under the Wire is a classic in the makinga riveting story of bravery by one of the last of his generation. QUOTES Ashs book is full of such wit, and held together with the sort of wry adventure story that begs to be immortalized on film as a cross between Tom Jones and The Great Escape. Metro News Toronto [A] remarkable story. Toronto Star
