Frank Farr learned the hard way that a rip cord is not infallible when you have to open a parachute. He survived that lesson to spend six months in German prison camps after the "Massacre at Merseburg" Nov. 2, 1944. He notes here that young men sequestered away from all womankind don't always talk about girls. Starve them enough, and they talk about food instead. Read how World War II flyers in German prison camps passed the time (books, games music), what they talked about (food, girls and flying) and what they dreamed about (family, loved ones and freedom).

Autorenporträt
Starting as an executive trainee in 1961, Frank moved up through the ranks to become the youngest director of Fine Fare Supermarkets, a $2 billion company. In 1974, as senior vice-president of Tamblyn Drugmarts, he was instrumental in turning around this money-losing subsidiary of Weston Companies. In 1978 Frank joined 7-Eleven as Canadian division manager. Consistent improvement in sales and profits led to Frank's appointment first as vice-president/general manager and then as president of Southland Canada Inc., developing 7-Eleven into a major Canadian retail success story. After his retirement from Southland, Frank began traveling the world as a consultant and as senior international advisor for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), providing consulting advice to entrepreneurs in Moldova, Armenia, Republic of Georgia, Kosovo, and Ukraine. Frank, his wife Ann, and his daughter Paula live in Surrey, B.C.
