Many of the most famous escapes in history took place during the Second World War. These daring flights from Nazi occupied Europe would never have been possible but for the assistance of a hitherto secret British service: MI9. This small, dedicated and endlessly inventive team gave hope to the men who had fallen into enemy hands, and aid to resistance fighters in occupied territory. It sent money, maps, clothes, compasses, even hacksaws and in return coded letters from the prisoner of war camps and provided invaluable news of what was happening in the enemy s homeland. Understaffed and under resourced, MI9 nonetheless made a terrific contribution to the Allied war effort. As a young subaltern in the Coldstream Guards, James Maydon Langley (1916-83), lost his arm at Dunkirk and was captured but eventually escaped via Lille, Paris, Marseilles, Spain and Gibraltar. He describes the fierce fighting outside Dunkirk, his captivity, escape and extraordinary life in Vichy France, before the Germans controlled it. His fellow escapees and the French who sheltered them make a rich cast of characters. On return to London, Langley is recruited into the Secret Service and told to organise the safe return of allied soldiers, sailors and airmen who had succeeded in either escaping from or evading the Germans. Despite betrayal and infiltration from Germans, collaborators and traitors, over 3000 men were safely brought back to 'fight another day'. Langley and Airey Neave, who joined him after his historic home run from Colditz, had to wrestle with rival secret organisations for resources to carry out their vital work. Langley was portrayed by the actor Benedict Cumberbatch in the 2004 BBC series Dunkirk. Michael Richard Daniell Foot CBE, TD (1919-2012), was a British military historian and former British Army intelligence officer and special operations operative.
