Shot down over the Somme in July 1916, the Royal Flying Corps airman A. J. Evans was sent to camps at Gütersloh and Clausthal and then to the punishment fort at Ingolstadt, reserved for persistent escapers. He describes plan after plan, from tunnels to wading a moat, and a final run for the Swiss frontier, before a second captivity in Palestine under the Turks.
