Summary "Brother Bosch: An Airman's Escape from Germany" by Captain Knight, R.A.F. is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically after World War I. The book details the author's harrowing experiences as a captured British airman, recounting his aerial missions, subsequent capture by German forces, and the trials he faced as a prisoner of war. Central to the narrative is Captain Knight himself, who embarks on a remarkable journey filled with suspense and bravery. The opening of the account begins with Captain Knight relaxing in a semi-conscious state, pondering about his situation, before he is jolted awake by the call to participate in a bomb raid. As he prepares for the mission, he heads out into the air with his squadron, only to face dire consequences when his plane is attacked, leading to his capture by German troops. The narrative captures his initial reactions, the chaotic events of the aerial skirmish, and the moments of confusion and anger upon realizing he has become a prisoner, setting the stage for the challenges he will face in captivity. This gripping introduction establishes a strong sense of urgency and vividly portrays the experiences of war and the emotional complexities tied to survival and captivity.
