About

The story of 485 (NZ) Squadron Spitfire pilot Les "Chalky" White.

While escorting Marauder bombers on an attack on the 22nd of August 1943, Chalky shot down a FW190, was himself shot down, and on his descent to French soil shot down a second FW190. He crash landed, and made an escape from the downed Spitfire.

He then began an incredible journey from near Le Havre, northern France, where he crashed, all the way down to Spain and Gibraltar. He did it without the aid of the Underground assisted routes, and the only time he was involved directly with the Underground was by chance when one member helped him across the Pyrenees.

Illustrated with monochrome images and map.
