Shot Down. The Comet line.

Just a heads up for those interested. The French resistance helping allied airmen escape captivity. Repeated again on Yesterday TV. at 5pm Today. Well worth watching.

The book, Little Cyclone by Airey Neave about the Belgian group created by Andree de Jongh ( Dedee) is worth a read for the story, less for the quality of the writing which is poor. And the Comet Line itself was a Belgian undertaking, not French, based in Brussels and the Belgians penetrated deep into French territory to Spain, accompanying the Allied servicemen.
