This is another paragraph Product Description: Gunther Pl schow of the German Imperial Navy holds a unique place in history- during the First World War he became the only German prisoner of war ever to escape from the British mainland and make it all the way back to the Fatherland. Yet, although his daring break for freedom n 1915 is astonishing in its own right, Pl schow was much more than simply an escaped POW. He was also a fearless aviator who, single-handedly, flew against the British and Japanese on Germany's besieged Far East colony of Tsingtao, and he was an explorer. After the war, he set sail for the southernmost tip of South America to explore what was then a largely unknown region of the world until his tragic death in 1931, when his parachute failed to open following a mid-air accident over the Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia. In Gunther Pl schow: Airman, Escaper, Explorer, Anton Rippon tells this extraordinary tale in vivid detail: the mandarin who had Pl schow escorted to Shanghai; the safe house where he pretended to be mad in order to fool his neighbour; the journey across America where he was feted as a celebrity; his recapture at Gibraltar; his escape from a POW camp in the Midlands; and his subsequent hair-raising escape by stowing away on a Holland-bound ferry. And, of course, the book covers Pl schow's post-war adventures when he became the first man to see Tierra del Fuego- his land of 'incredible and savage beauty'- from he air., Pen and Sword, 6<
