Default A Gestapo spy in the RAF... "Hurricane 2"?

This would make an amazing movie... one of "The Few" turns out to have been a Nazi agent!

What a story! If his treachery had not cost several lives it might make an exciting adventure story. As it is he got what he deserved.

You're right, it would make an interesting movie.

Roy Conyers Nesbit is a well-respected aviation historian and author; if they don't make a movie out of this then I can't think of anyone more qualified to turn it into a first rate book

Maybe we'll eventually get both

Wow. What an incredible story. This would make a great movie, as you both had said. It should come as no surprise considering what the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane meant to England and what a thorn in the side it was to Germany. I will look for this account at the bookstore.



Great post.
