Flight Lieutenant Bob Hendley ('The Scrounger'): American RAF officer.
The only American involved in actual escape. The Hollywood film makers insisted on putting in the other characters purely as box office appeal. |

My father is William Little Calder Jones. He was a big part of the escape but didn't actually escape. He is an American, but joined the RCAF in 1939 to get in the war. He was consulted when they were making the film, and went to the premiere. I hope you aren't insinuating the I was telling a big windy.

I would not dream of it. Was just putting a name to a character, and pointing out the Hollywood's license to rewrite history. There were many Americans involved in the escape preparation, and major excavations. They were moved from the camp prior to the actual escape, to an all American Camp. That move may have saved some of their lives, as 50 of the escapees were later executed. |

Excellent movie, and pretty true-to-life for a Gibson film. They did portray Col. Moore as a bit more heroic than he actually was apparently.

I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to turn political. Got my answer.
