Escape & Evasion Books

This page was started on September 7, 2014.  On it I began listing new escape and evasion books that came to my attention, including some that were awaiting publication.  I welcome suggestions for additions to the list because I am sure there are many I am not aware of. A full description of a book, a picture of the cover, name of the publisher, and date of publication as of November 2022 will appear on the website of the Air Forces Escape and Evasion Society (AFEES) following the Table of Contents at https://airforceescape.org/book-list/. What appears below is just the Table of Contents. Click on the AFEES link for full information.
