Stapme's Final Attack by Nicolas Trudgian

On December 23rd 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge, Squadron Leader Basil 'Stapme' Stapleton was flying his Hawker Typhoon of No.247 Squadron on an offensive patrol from his base at Eindhoven. Behind enemy lines, he spotted a train and pressed home a determined attack with rockets and cannon fire. Unluckily, as the boiler of the locomotive violently exploded, shrapnel damaged his aircraft and Stapme had to make a crash-landing, spending the rest of the war as a prisoner.
