Odyssey of a Bombardier is the illustrated Prisoner of War "log"
that depicts the experiences of bombardier Richard M. Mason in
German prison camps after his B-17 "Flying Fortress" was shot down
by the Germans in France in 1944, the final year of World War II.
The log follows Mason from the day his plane crashed until his
liberation in April, 1945, and his return home to the United
States. Included are such topics as medical treatment and
rehabilitation for wounded prisoners of the Germans, life in Stalag
Luft III, a difficult long march in an arctic winter to another
camp, the travails of prisoners in the overcrowded, filthy camp at
Moosburg, critical food shortages, and the arrival of General
George Patton with the liberating forces. Mason was an amateur
artist and illustrated his journal with moving depictions of prison
life and comradeship. This book shows U.S. airmen demonstrating
grace and courage under pressure and meeting every challenge that
their imprisonment presented.
