Description
This book contains real life stories of unusual people in unusual situations. Many of these war-time stories have never been told before. In many ways, most of these 'unusal people' lived an ordinary life - that was until they found themselves in difficult situations, often far from home on the other side of the world. It was then that they bloomed and made use of their hidden talents developed as radio amateurs. This book contains their stories.--Back cover.
