Are you ready for some of the most exciting, death-defying escape stories ever told? Perfect for fans of the I Survived series, the first installment in a brand-new, edge-of-your-seat series based on real events!
In spring 1942, Royal Air Force pilot Bill Ash's plane was shot down by Germans, who captured and eventually brought him to Stalag Luft III, a notorious camp for prisoners of war. The Germans boasted that the camp--which was isolated, heavily guarded, and surrounded by wire fences--was escape proof.
But Ash was ready to prove them wrong. He, along with other POWs, would dig tunnels, hide in shower drains, or jump on trucks--all in the name of freedom. Because resisting the Germans was their mission, and escaping was their duty.
From reluctant reader to total bookworm, each book in this page-turning series--featuring fascinating bonus content and captivating illustrations--will leave you excited for the next adventure!
Based on the real-life story of RAF pilot William Ash, how do you escape a place the Nazis built to be escape-proof?
- Based on a True Story: Follow the incredible journey of American-born RAF pilot Bill Ash, who made thirteen escape attempts during WWII and became a legendary Cooler King.
- The Infamous Stalag Luft III: Go behind the barbed wire of the notorious German POW camp made famous by the Great Escape, and see the creativity and courage it took to defy the odds.
