Unlike other Scandinavian countries, Sweden maintained its neutrality throughout the Second World War. She was therefore able to offer sanctuary for the fighting men of all nations.

During war 113 RAF aircraft and 660 airmen landed in Sweden or in its coastal waters. For many airmen Sweden offered the only hope of refuge when their aircraft were unable to make the flight back to Britain. Here each case is featured in remarkable detail, each aeroplane identified and every man accounted for.

The authors have committed many years of research to produce this work that will prove to be the definitive reference work on those airmen who had option but to Make for Sweden.

Part 2 features the USAAF losses in Sweden
