Great Raids of World War II "Prison Busters"
In late 1943, the French Resistance asked for help. Some of their top operatives were being held in Amiens prison and facing interrogation, torture, and execution. They must be rescued. The plan which evolved depended on a very special aircraft - the Mosquito fighter-bomber - and the skill and courage of its pilots in flying low enough to breach the prison walls with their bombs.
