Publishers Description: This compelling personal account of an Australian World War II fighter pilot reveals the experiences of one who earned a reputation among allies and enemies alike for his acts of bravery, his selflessness, his dogged determination, and an infectious sense of humor. Nicky Barr shot down 14 enemy planes, and was subsequently shot down three times himself and captured as a prisoner of war in Italy, where he escaped four separate times. Exploring adventure, war, courage, the terror of mortality--and the love for his wife that sustained him through it all, his story provides insight into the power of the human spirit and its determination to survive.
