Infringing Neutrality by Roger Anthoine
The RAF in Switzerland 1940-45
Roger Anthoine has researched the RAF's incursions into Swiss air space, the aircraft that landed there (whether crashed or onto a Swiss airfield) and the men who made for Switzerland as a safe haven from occupied Europe.Switzerland, that bastion of neutrality, was in an interesting position during the Second World War. Despite being neutral, it had much to gain from the war. But the war also caused problems for Switzerland. The Allies used it as a short cut when flying over enemy territory, their planes often crash-landed there after being damaged over occupied Europe and Allied airmen made for Switzerland when trying to escape from PoW camps. Roger Anthoine has researched the RAF's incursions into Swiss air space, the aircraft that landed there (whether crashed or onto a Swiss airfield) and the men who made for Switzerland as a safe haven from occupied Europe. From daring escapes, to miraculous stories of survival from crash landings, as well as the tragedies of war, this is a gripping read. |
