LAST OF THE 39-ERS
The Extraordinary Wartime Experiences of Squadron Leader Alfie Fripp.
In some ways, Alfie Fripp's war ended when he was shot down on over Germany in October 1939. In many others, it was only just beginning.
Squadron Leader Alfie Fripp was the oldest surviving and longest-serving British prisoner of war until his death in 2013 - the last of the so-called '39-ers'. Held in a succession of Nazi POW camps during World War II he worked alongside the Red Cross but would sneak supplies past German censors to secretly aid escape efforts. He was an inmate at Stallag Luft III during the Great Escape, in fact his own skipper - Mike Casey - was shot as one of the '50' who were captured.
Told with striking honesty and simplicity, written with pace and insight, Alfie's story has been brought alive. It brings to light the hardships suffered by prisoners of war along with the genius and ingenuity of inmates plans for escape. Accompanied by a superb collection of photographs, this long-overdue account is an excellent chance to discover the story of one of these legendary men.
