Inhaltsangabe

Unshackled Spirit was a Spitfire purchased by British prisoners of war while imprisoned in Germany. Formed of unpublished logbooks, this fascinating book of triumph over tyranny tells the story of each prisoner of war and how they purchased an iconic Spitfire by a redirect of funds as a gift via the Red Cross under the noses of the Third Reich.
