About this listen

Hero WWI fighter pilot shot down and captured.

With an engaging and authentic retelling of his experiences as an escaped prisoner of war, this gripping account details the life and struggles of a captured pilot in 1917 Europe.

Lieutenant John Ryan couldn’t wait to see action in WWI. He joined up with the British colors out of Canada. As one of several American pilots in the Royal Flying Corps before the US joined the war, he earned his wings and became an ace through fierce air battles over the skies of Germany.

After getting shot down twice behind enemy lines, Lieutenant Ryan recounts the trials, tragedies, and tribulations of 72 days on the run behind enemy lines. These events are so incredible, you don’t dare stop listening.

If you like authentic accounts of astonishing stories set in World War One, then you won’t want to miss Broken Wings: WWI Fighter Ace’s Story of Escape and Survival from a German POW Camp. Click on the "buy now" button to get the audiobook today.

A fascinating incredible account of this pilots escape and journey back to freedom, Some of it is really incredible. The story has a fair few details missing that I would have liked to know, who was the famous German pilot he shared a vehicle with, what type of fighter did he fly in combat but the account itself has many other little know facts and tactics, how to attack German balloons and the type of anti-aircraft weapons used against him, it gives an excellent account of life on the run as an escaped prisoner what his diet was like who helped him who tried to take advantage of him. The narrator is could have done a better job of bring the story to life but is OK.
