Maurice 'Moggy' Mayne was a cricket-loving air gunner in the Second
World War, with a pretty girlfriend back home in rural England. His
turret was in a Bristol Beaufort and his pilot had to fly with
almost suicidal bravery at giant German warships before releasing
the torpedo. No wonder Moggy's first pilot cracked up and his
second liked to drink. When he was shot down, Moggy miraculously
survived - unlike his best friend Stan. Moggy was sent to Stalag
Luft VIIIB, an infamous German POW camp near the Polish border,
where he was badly treated. Fearing losing his beloved girlfriend
Sylvia forever, and risking recapture and execution, he saw the
chance to escape alone, thus beginning an epic journey through
Nazi-occupied Germany. As the Gestapo shot other escaped British
servicemen, Moggy Mayne came agonisingly close to lasting freedom.
Instead, as the war neared its end, he had to face the horrors of
the 'long march' west - and he felt his life slipping away. Would
he ever see his Sylvia again?
