註釋Flight Sergeant Chalky White's Spitfire was shot down in Occupied France in August 1943 and he was captured by the Germans. Within forty-five minutes he had knocked out his guard and escaped. He walked, took trains, was helped by French people, avoided one attempt at betrayal and made his way south to the Pyrennes. Helped by a smuggler, involved in a gun battle with the Germans, he climbed the Pyrenees in espadrilles (rope soled sandals). On reaching the British Consulate in Barcelona he was locked up as a suspected spy. Pilot on the run is the story of an ordinary, almost archetypal New Zealander coping with what seem to be insuperable difficulties in a peculiarly Kiwi manner.
