520    On the night of 22/23rd April 1944 Tom Wingham was the 
       bomb aimer in the crew of a 76 Squadron Halifax shot down 
       while on the way to bomb Düsseldorf. Coming to in a 
       tangle of parachute and harness straps he realized the 
       precariousness of his situation and so, dazed and aching 
       with a painful concussion and navigating by the stars 
       alone, he quickly set off on his long and difficult 
       journey home through occupied territory, constantly 
       depending on the kindness of others who risked their lives
       to help keep him hidden.  Tom made his way from Holland, 
       at the hands of “The Escape” and was then 
       passed via “L’Armée Secrète&
       rdquo; a London run organization operating in the east of 
       Belgium, but fell right into the path of the Gestapo. In a
       deadly game of hide and seek Tom evaded his captors long 
       enough to witness the retreat of German soldiers as he 
       stayed at the house of Madame Schoofs, which became a 
       temporary German HQ.  In the 1980s Tom assisted a Dutch 
       air historian with some research and this prompted him to 
       look into the details of his own crash. What he uncovered 
       not only shed more light on his own story but also those 
       of his fellow crew members. He plotted approximately where
       each person landed that fateful night and slowly their 
       incredible stories emerged. [Elib]
