In addition to those books mentioned in the text there are several that I believe deserve special mention. We Landed by Moonlight and Secret Flotillas are classic reference works - the latter concerning the sea evacuations from France. No Banners is the story of Alfred and Henry Newton, extraordinary men that my dad met at Miranda and who went on to join SOE, whilst Between Silk and Cyanide is simply a great read which also happens to give remarkable insight to SOE personnel and operations. I Walked Alone is an excellent account by the Earl of Cardigan who walked from Belgium to the ZNO in 1940 and kept a diary. Saturday at MI9 gives a good overview of several escape lines whilst Little Cyclone is the story of the Belgian Comete line. PS. Should you come across the book They Fought Alone by John Keats whilst looking for Buckmaster's book of the same name, then grab it. It is a spectacular tale of evasion from another theatre of war and the story of one of my personal heroes, Wendell Fertig. Also highly recommended is The Long Walk by Slav Rawicz, an incredible story of endurance by escapers who walked 3,000 miles from Siberia to India in 1941.

Three new sources of information on evaders from France came to my attention recently: the Association du Mémorial Américain de Saint-Nazaire website b17-france.org for information on USAAF aircraft and crews downed in France, Hugues Chevalier's book Crashs sur le Pas-de-Calais, which can be bought direct from Hugues (details on request) and La Guerre 39-45 Dans le Ciel de l'Oise by Marcel Mavré.
