SYNOPSIS: Intelligence didn't like it. Neither did the Air Ministry. But the Resistance men awaiting execution in Amiens prison were vital to the entire D-Day operation. They had to be rescued. And the Allies' only chance was to blow up the prison - and pray they didn't blow up the very men they were trying to free! It would take cunning, patience, and guts. It would hinge on the cooperation of spies, thieves, shot-down airmen, hookers, pickpockets, and forgers. And it would depend on the one man brave enough and crazy enough to lead the Mosquito Bomber attack - the legendary Charles Piquard. Together they would free more than seven hundred men and women, and save the heroes of D-Day from Nazi extinction! Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 000846
