This book describes the design, manufacture, covert shipment and
use of the many ingenious evasion and escape devices provided to
Allied troops during WWII. Following the fall of mainland Europe,
hostile Allied actions against land-based Axis forces were
generally limited to air attacks. However, as the numbers of those
attacks increased, the number of aircraft and crews failing to
return grew alarmingly: something needed to be done to provide
these air crews with aids to enable them to evade to safe territory
or escape captivity, or losses of irreplaceable crews would become
critical. Britain's MI-9 and U.S. MIS-X organizations were formed
solely to support evaders and prisoners of war in occupied
territories. They developed a wide variety of evasion and escape
devices that were given to Allied Forces prior to operations in
hostile territory or delivered clandestinely to POWs. It worked:
the aids facilitated the return of thousands of men to their units.
