Description
Winter 1944, Yugoslavia. American airmen parachuted from crippled bombers. Some landed in safety. Others were slaughtered by German fire. Extreme weather closed the skies; the Germans blocked the path to the sea. British agents eventually extracted sixty-six airmen. Eighteen remained-- and were sent over the mountains at the prodding of guns by the Partisan forces who were desperate to rid themselves of the Americans. Stanley, the son of one of the eighteen Lost Airmen who walked across the Yugoslav wilderness to safety in January 1945, tells their story. -- adapted from jacket
