| Apparently he also stole an FW 190 "He managed to escape from the prison camp, stole a FW-190 (or so the legend goes), and flew to safety in the Netherlands." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Hoover |

| "He managed to escape from the prison camp, stole a FW-190 (or so the legend goes), and flew to safety in the Netherlands." Sounds like a scene from "The Great Escape"
