I only started the book 24 hours ago knowing nothing of Jean's story. It really was difficult to put down. Packed with many fabulous photographs from the family's collection, this book has been a most enjoyable read. Jean clearly was an incredible and very determined man. I definitely recommend this book to all. Read the full review [link=https://historybookchat.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-belgian-raf-pilot-who-defied-gestapo.html]here[/link]

Alan Dawson is a fine historian, who has turned a labour of love -- a family history of wartime adventure and, ultimately, great loss, for which family archives only provide limited help in undoing decades of silent suffering by those who survived their sons and brothers -- into a brilliant piece of investigative story telling. At its heart are the adventures of Roy Lane, a Hurricane pilot whose determination to find excitement and serve his country took him from the skies above the British channel to the Atlantic convoys, to northern Russia and ultimately to the jungles of Burma. Roy Lane kept diaries, and promised his family that he would one day write a book about his war. But the diaries went missing, as he did, and all that the author of this volume, his niece's husband, had to go on were his letters home -- inevitably somewhat bland, to ensure that they were spared the censor's pen and reached home. But the comparative poverty of this material never gets in Dr Dawson's way. Thanks.. Read more
