Being a prisoner of war isn't an option. . . As Japanese forces corral almost eleven thousand prisoners after the fall of Corregidor Island in the Philippines, the remaining crew of the USS Tanager band together to escape to freedom. Pursued by a relentless Japanese officer, the escapees commandeer an old schooner. Through uncharted islands and stormy seas, they must outsail and outsmart Japanese forces sent to capture or kill them. Inspired by a true story of early World War II heroism, Flight to Freedom is the story of a diverse group of people who just won't give up. Flight to Freedom is a page-turner; adventurous, beautifully written, entertaining, and fascinating. The charismatic characters and narrative completely absorbed me, and the engaging and well-paced plot held my attention. Flight to Freedom is one of the most entertaining books I've read.-Jennie More for Readers' Favorite
