The true adventures of World War Two U.S. Army Air Force fighter pilot Dan King, who flew a P-51 over occupied Europe escorting bombers and attacking targets on the ground before mechanical failure forced him down inside the Third Reich, sending him on a harrowing trip across enemy territory in the custody of the Luftwaffe guard who saved his life twice. Once in the POW camp he was then mistaken for a enemy spy by his fellow prisoners, until a comic incident revealed he really was an American after all. A story of the man and his adventures, but also his marrying the woman he loved, his training and his return home.
