Broken Wings by John Clive

In the autumn of 1940 both
Churchill and Hitler were bidding for Ireland’s favour. Ireland, however, was
determined not to get involved in this Emergency, as the war was called in
Eire, and so tried to remain scrupulously fair. One of the consequences was
an internment camp, K Lines, where both RAF and Luftwaffe flyers were
retained for the duration of the war.

Broken Wings is the story of a prison break – which actually happened two
years later – and the plots and counterplots that abounded in neutral Ireland
during those desperate first years of the war.
