An biography with a difference.

Part 2 has never before published signed letters from several well known historical High Command Germans including Rohn, Hydrich, Raeder, von Papen and even a birthday card sent to Hitler in 1936, copies of actual escape maps used by Capt Langley and his analysis interpretation the original Operation Sealion papers.

Capt Langley claimed to be protected by ‘luck’. Maybe it was a guardian angel looking over his shoulder? You’ll have to be the judge. Follow his life story as a boy in England to fighting in North Africa, being captured in Tobruk where he exchanged words with Gen Rommel’s aide and his daring home run escape helped by many Italian people who all immediately recognized him as a British POW, and his post war Intelligence work in SHAEF. He was almost shot by accident by prince and had several close enoucounters with women while escaping! This book is based on a recorded interview by The Imperial War Museum, London and actual war documents dating back to 1936.

This book is intended to be an appreciation for a man who served his country and also to suggest that maybe there is a higher spirit looking down on some people. Jim Langley is 99 and still active in his own home in Henley-On-Thames, England when this biography was published.
