The Little English Boy (Paperback)

Danish Air Force pilot Hans Gundelach is a man trapped in Germany when Hitler invades his homeland in 1940. Instead of trying to rejoin his family, he heads for occupied France with a set of secret technical drawings given to him by a Jewish gun-sight maker. Although he knows he'll be shot as a spy if caught, Gundelach's hatred of the Third Reich drives him on into the unknown. Along the way, he falls in love with a local woman, services a downed Hurricane fighter and eventually makes it to England to deliver drawings he hopes will change the course of the war in the Atlantic, but, once there, he finds his troubles are only just beginning... This is an incredible true story about one man's crusade to help the Allied war effort against the Nazis. It gives a fascinating insight into Gundelach's resourcefulness and drive, and his lasting hope that his actions will make a difference. Beautifully told and richly entertaining, The Little English Boy will delight readers of all ages.
