Description: Great Britain: Michael Russell (Publishing) Ltd, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0859551490. "Henri Déricourt, a French pilot commissioned in the RAF in WWII, was parachuted into France to receive and dispatch the British aircraft which landed secret agents during the German occupation. Awarded for his efforts by the French, he was subsequently charged with treason. Was there more to his case than met the eye? Prompted by her researches for her highly successful 'Madeleine', Jean Overton Fuller met and came to know Déricourt well. This book sifts all the evidence, examines the various theories and detects an episode in Déricourt's past which is perhaps the key to the whole absorbing saga. If the wartime world of the secret agent catches your imagination, here is total immersion." - dust jacket. viii, 407 pages. Index. Black and white reproductions of archival photos.
