Fascinating life-or-death tales

Escape From Korea is the personal story of John J. Fischer, a veteran marine aviator who served in the Korean War. John's military career began in 1942 and he flew combat missions in World War II, the Bay of Pigs, and on the beginning onset of what was to become the Vietnam War. Part of John's service involved debriefing those fellow aviators who were captured yet succeeded in escaping and braved terrible odds with the goal of rescue. From these true stories, Fischer presents a compelling military anthology of fascinating life-or-death tales. In this highly recommended selection of case stories and deadly challenges to human survival, the reader is provided a kind of "window" into what life as a combatant in the Korean "police action" was truly like.
