There is one more thing I should have mentioned. The title of the article, as originally published in Reader's Digest, was not "The Evaders." Its title was "Turnabout."

Turnabout. Precisely. Fact or fiction, it's feel good story with a relevant moral.

ooooh I love stories within a story! This is as good as it gets and it does seem very plausable. Many Polish pilots had similar experiences with fighting for France then England, etc. And its possible that these two met. Does anyone have the name of the Dr. who was saved and then saved his savior?

Great story just the same.

Hey, guys!

I would like to inform you that i've read this story way back 1992 in a Reader's Digest special edition book published circa late 1950's to early 1960's. It's not a magazine but a small book about 4"x2.5" in size and 3/4"thick.

It is one of two stories about WW2 air combats (Samurai by caidin about Saburo Sakai) that opened my interest in aerial warfare.

Hope this shared information encourages us all to peruse old books and magazines before disposing.

Happy day, guys!
