FRANKLIN B. RESSEGUIE --- REST IN PEACE
Frank Resseguie founded Brundage Publishing in 1994. He was not only my publisher but a true gentleman always willing to answer questions and lend guidance. Without his help, my book would never have been published. Frank passed away on June 18, 2007. Rest in Peace, my Friend...............
From Brundage Publishing's website - Feathers In The Wind:
The author, a young American fighter pilot stationed with the 78th Thunderbolt Fighter Group at Duxford, England, came down in northern France on October 18, 1943 when France was fully occupied by the Germans. Out of nearly 80,000 U.S. Airmen who came down in Europe during WWII, nearly half were killed and nearly half were captured and taken prisoner. Franklin discloses how he became one of only about 4,000 airmen to escape from Europe without being captured. Read of his last second escapes in the air and on the ground as time and again he outwits the German Luftwaffe and German ground patrols. The contents of this book are best described by those who know the military. It's been called a classic escape story.
