Description

For fans of Unbroken, the remarkable, untold story of World War II American Air Force turret-gunner Team of workers Sergeant Arthur Meyerowitz, who was once shot down over Nazi-occupied France and refrained from Gestapo pursuers for more than six months before escaping to freedom.
  
Bronx-born top turret-gunner Arthur Meyerowitz was once one in all only two crewmen who escaped death or immediate capture at the ground, when their plane was once shot down near Cognac, France, in 1943.
 
After fleeing the wreck, Arthur knocked at the door of an isolated farmhouse, whose owners all of a sudden took him in. Fortunately, his hosts had a tight connection to the French resistance group Morhange and its founder, Marcel Taillandier, who arranged for Arthur’s transfers among secure houses in southern France, shielding him from the Gestapo.
 
In keeping with recently declassified subject matter, exclusive personal interviews, and extensive research into the French Resistance, The Lost Airman tells the tense and riveting story of Arthur’s hair-raising journey to freedom—a true story of endurance, perseverance, and escape all over World War II.
