Journey to the Horizon

Journey to the Horizon tells the story of three fighter pilots and two Lancaster crews who were shot down by the Germans. It follows them on the run, hiding, in captivity and in some cases in death. They were Britons, Canadians, New Zealanders and Americans. Five of them met in Paris while being guided by members of the Comet Escape line, others evaded in different ways. Some endured the harsh life in a POW camp, while in one case an airman even ended up in Buchenwald concentration camp. Those who died now rest at various cemeteries in France. This is a tribute to aircrew who were forced down and evaded capture. It also honours those who died and those who endured a long time as prisoners of war.
