Return to Belgium (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781902810355)

Following the German occupation of Belgium and the evacuation from Dunkirk, many wounded soldiers were left behind and captured. Those who escaped and downed Allied pilots and crews were helped to get back to Britain by some remarkable men and women in the Com鑼e escape line. As well as telling the story of Andr馥 de Jongh, one of its founders, using recently released documents from the National Archives, this book provides details about Elaine Madden, Fr馘駻ique Dupuich, Olga Jackson and an anonymous blonde, women who had got out of Belgium and yet volunteered to be flown back from RAF Tempsford: 'Churchill's Most Secret Airfield' and parachuted into occupied Belgium with vital missions to undertake prior to liberation.
