About this title

Synopsis

The amazing story of Sgt. John Boyd's survival as a POW in a Notorious Japanese prison camp. August 1943... T. Sgt John Boyd, from the small western Kentucky farming town of Mayfield, found himself on his 44th bombing mission, roaring over Burma in a war that spanned the lobe. Suddenly his rugged B-25 was ablaze from enemy anti-aircraft fire and quickly losing altitude. Straddling the drafty opening of the rear bombay, his parachute not even strapped on yet, and only 300 feet above Burmese soil, a distance much too low for a safe eject, a voice inside thundered... Jump. From having miraculously escaped the crash that claimed the lives of his entire B-25 crew, through his capture, interrogation and 21 month imprisonment in Rangoon, Burma. Boyd vividly relays his incredible adventures and experiences as a POW that would have a guiding effect in his distinguished careers in the Air Force., Real Estate business, and as Mayor of his boyhood home. Read how he and his imprisoned companions from Great Britain, India, China, and the United States struggle, in the hands of cruel captors of a brutal Japanese WW II prison camp, for survival against torture, disease, starvation, despair and forge bonds between them that would last a lifetime.
