Brickhill, Paul - The Great Escape (Published in by The Folio Society in 2016. Frontispiece and 16 pages of black & white plates Printed endpapers 9.5" x 6.25". THE GREAT ESCAPE - In 1943, 600 disparate Allied POWs in the notorious Stalag Luft III prison camp plotted an escape unprecedented in its scale and daring. Led by the formidable Squadron Leader Roger Bushell – or 'Big X' as he was known on the escape committee – the plan involved digging three tunnels ('Tom', 'Dick' and 'Harry') and disposing of over 100 tonnes of yellow sand, all under the noses of the German 'ferrets', or guards. )
