Comments:
On October 27, 1941 he flew a Rhubarb to Boulogne and happened on a freight train. Destoying the engine, his Spitfire was hit with debris, and he belly landed in a field. He set his kite on fire and hid from the Germans the rest of the day. He was helped by a French family, and to avoid them being shot for helping him, he turned himslf in to the Germans. Then he went to Stalag Luft III. He remined in the RAF until 1946, when he resigned his commission and returned to the USA and flew for United Airlines.
