Ontario, Canada: Testaments of Honour, 2013. A Fine unmarked copy. SIGNED BY BLAKE HEATHCOTE without dedication. 248 pages. Profusely illustrated. Heathcote tells how Toronto-born John 'Scruffy' Weir became a World War II fighter pilot, POW, participant in the Great Escape and spy. Drawing on skills he had learned from an Ojibway hunter and in specials operations training, Weir endures a fiery plane crash and four grim years in POW camps, capped by a 350 mile trek in 1945s infamous Winter March to Lübeck. In crisp prose, journal entries, and dozens of interview excerpts, Heathcote reveals how Weir was trained almost from birth for conditions neither he nor his teachers could ever have anticipated. Scruffy Weir spoke to no one about his experiences in war. No one, that is, except Blake Heathcote. And once he began to speak, Scruffy held nothing back. Over two years, and hundreds of hours of interviews, he talked to Heathcote about everything from his childhood to his flight training, the prison camps, the Great Escape, and the shadowy world of intelligence. And it wasnt all just talk. Scruffys journals, personal notes, and thousands of photographs many of them reproduced in this book tell an unforgettable story of war and courage. 201. Signed by Author.
