Many World War Two fighter pilots have written their wartime biographies, Tom Neil included, but most of these accounts are tempered by 60 years of hindsight along with concern for the feelings of others. Tom Neil decided that it was now time to tell the stories that previously he couldn't; and came up with a unique approach. By writing them in a short story format, and modifying various aspects for both dramatic effect and also to protect the identities of the individuals involved, he has produced a series of moving and fascinating stories, the first four of whichare published in Flight into Darkness. Illustrated with over 30 specially commissioned pencil sketches by award-winning aviation artist Mark Postlethwaite.

Warren T T. White distinguished graduate of VMI, class of 1941, left his commission as a platoon leader in the army cavalry to join the army air corp. After winning back his lieutenant's bars, along with his wings, he was ordered to report for duty in Britain. On April 8, 1944, White was sitting in the co-pilot seat of a Flying Fortress-one of about 80-making a bombing raid near Berlin, when Germans attacked. The pilot was killed and one engine of the plane caught fire. White first dropped his bombs, then ordered the crew to bail out. White was captured, interrogated for four days and then incarcerated in Stalag Luft 1 at Barth. Flight Into Darkness has two main parts: (1) the narrative White started but was unable to finish before his death and (2) a facsimile of the journal he kept while he was a P.O.W., including daily entries and the illustrations he created--having taken up water colors while a prisoner. A historical treasure!.

A harrowing, action-packed account of the author's series of audacious escapes from the Nazis' Final Solution--"riveting...a fascinating and moving piece of history" (Library Journal). Young Leo Bretholz survived the Holocaust by escaping from the Nazis (and others) not once, but seven times during his almost seven-year ordeal crisscrossing war-torn Europe. He leaped from trains, outran police, and hid in attics, cellars, anywhere that offered a few more seconds of safety. First he swam the River Sauer at the German-Belgian border. Later he climbed the Alps on feet so battered they froze to his socks--only to be turned back at the Swiss border. He crawled out from under the barbed wire of a French holding camp, and hid in a village in the Pyrenees while gendarmes searched it. And in the dark hours of one November morning, he escaped from a train bound for Auschwitz. Leap into Darkness is the sweeping memoir of one Jewish boy's survival, and of the family and the world he left behind.
