Book Review: The Lost Airman

After a couple of poor choices for audio books, I secured this title from the library, The Lost Airman: A True Story of Escape from Nazi-Occupied France. While the start was slow, once I got into the story, it was engaging. This true tale of Arthur Meyerowitz is a testament to the goodness of some people during the devastating horrors of World War II. On only his second mission in the air, they shot down his bomber and he parachuted into enemy-occupied France. Thanks to the brave souls in the French Resistance group Morhange, Meyerowitz faced down many obstacles but made it safely back onto neutral ground. While novels can submerge the reader into war-time suffering, there is nothing like a true story to elevate the experience tenfold. I'm so glad his official version of the story made it into the light of day, thanks to his grandson's research.
