Oleg Okshewsky's own words come alive in Flying with the Enemy, almost seventy-five years after the young airman tried to escape evil so he could fight Hitler another day. Oleg's memoir offers a gripping, firsthand account from the commander of the DO-17Z bomber himself. The son of a Tsarist cavalry officer, grew up in Serbia after the Russian Revolution. His memoir recounts his wartime experiences as a former Royal Yugoslavian Air Force commander who infiltrated the Croatian Air Force in an attempt to secure a plane for the Allies, only to be captured by the Soviets and sent to various POW camps and gulags in the Soviet Union.

Oleg Okshewsky was a pilot in the Royal Yugoslav Air Force during WWII. Although he was never trained as a politician, historian, or writer, his lifetime of experience makes him an expert witness to the horrors seen in not only his past, but also in today's world. His predictions about Russia continue to hold true even today. In the United States he taught himself English and worked his way up in the textile industry in New York City. He was very active as a member of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad and the Association of Russian Cadets Graduated Outside Russia. He also devoted much of his time as a Sunday school elder. He retired in early 1970 and bought a small restaurant, then retired for good in 1980.
