Book Synopsis Great Escapes and Rescues by : Roger Howard
Download or read book Great Escapes and Rescues written by Roger Howard. This book was released on 1999-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this entertaining and informative encyclopedia, disguises, ruses, stratagems, capers, devices, rescues, and plots abound. Topics range from a pâpiér-mache POW substitute and Bonnie Prince Charlie's successful 1746 masquerade as a maid to a British airman's short-lived escape from a German hospital wearing a nurse's cap and cape—and enormous flying boots and a luxuriant mustache. Each story is a tribute to ingenuity, perseverance, courage, and indomitable will. The A–Z entries, many of them illustrated, suggest sources for pursuing each subject further.
