A postman in civvy street, Corporal Johnny Bishop now served in a Field Postal Service Unit – a job he took very seriously indeed. So when the Luftwaffe bombed the latest batch of mail under his charge, he saw it as a personal insult.

But one letter survived the bombing, and Johnny vowed that, above all else, he would deliver it safely. And nothing – not even the entire German army – was going to stop him!
