National Archives WWII escape and evasion reports.

[Rjel]

I haven't really scanned more than a couple of these reports. Some seem more detailed than others. On the first page there is one for Chuck Yeager from when he was shot down in March, 1944.

My father was in the USAF, stationed in West Germany in the 50s. Part of his training included a week of evasion in the countryside--he and another officer were dropped off in a field and ordered to avoid contact with anyone for a week. He told me that went to a nearby farm house, knocked on the door and got taken care of by a nice family until it was time to report back in.

He left the military after only a few years, which was unusual for a Citadel graduate. I asked him why once, and he told me to go watch No Time For Sergeants.
