I’m not usually a fan of war stories (except holocaust books) but remember this one fondly and remember that it was one I reread a few times. I just recently noticed that it’s by the same author as The Great Escape, one of the few other war books I’ve enjoyed. This book was interesting and inspiring because it’s about a remarkable man. Douglas Bader was a British WW II fighter pilot, despite having lost both legs above the knee. Account of his life, including his amazing multiple escape attempts when he became a POW. Great tale of perseverance and determination.
