Condition: VERY GOOD. First printing. A hard to find account of exceptional heroism. U.S. Major Ward M. Millar was the third and last of three Air Force pilots captured during the Korean War to make his escape from the Communists. "His story, simply told, is one of stubborn and single-minded determination. Parachuting down in en…emy territory, with two broken legs, Millar was picked up by some Chinese soldiers, treated minimally, interrogated at length, and finally taken to a 'hospital,' which was no more than an infirmary. His first escape attemptcrawling on wooden skids failed; his second, with walking sticks and padded galoshes for shoes, was more successful. He managed to hobble at the rate of a mile a day, lived on raw corn, was gradually weakened by dysentery and hunger, and fell into the hands of Kima, a friendly North Korean who was able to complete his escape and escort him to Seoul." Foreword by General O. P. Weyland. Frontispiece portrait. 241 pp. Near fine in pale blue cloth with red lettering on the spine in a very good dust jacket with overall edgewear , original price of 3.50 on flap. .
