In 1941 air gunner Sergeant Jack Newton's Wellington is hit
by flak on his first bombing raid over Germany.
Miraculously, the skipper makes an emergency landing on a
German-occupied Belgian airfield, narrowly avoiding Antwerp
Cathedral. Having torched the plane, the crew give the
unsuspecting Germans the slip and are hidden by the
Resistance. Hoping to make it to the coast and back across
the Channel, the airmen are surprised when the 23-year-old
female leader of the Comete Escape Line, Andree de Jongh -
codenamed Dedee - has other plans for them. Full of
terrifying and humorous moments, this is the story of the
epic journey of the first British airman to escape occupied
Europe during the Second World War.
