A WWII pilot's incredible journey of survival, espionage, and resilience.
Last Man Standing tells the true story of Geoffrey Rothwell, a WWII pilot who flew Wellingtons and Short Stirlings on over 70 bombing missions. As a Flight Commander in the Special Duties Squadron, he dropped agents and supplies into enemy-occupied Europe, facing constant danger and harrowing conditions.
But his story doesn't end there. After crashing in Holland on his 71st mission, Geoff became a prisoner of war in the freezing Stalag Luft 1. He survived starvation and hardship, only to face new challenges in the Malayan Emergency. This gripping biography reveals the courage, leadership, and unwavering spirit of a remarkable man who lived through extraordinary times. Perfect for readers of military history and true stories of survival.
