Airey Neave's book "Little Cyclone" has been re-published and can be ordered through the following link: https://www.bitebackpublishing.com/books/little-cyclone-paperback. The book tells the true story of Andree de Jongh, a young artist in Brussels in 1941 who was nicknamed Little Cyclone by her father. She set up the Comet Line to smuggle trapped soldiers and airmen through France and across the Pyrenees into Spain. This escape line saved the lives of more than 800 Allied servicemen.
The book was recently the subject of this feature in the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/world-war-two/9930526/The-secrets-of-the-Second-World-War-Comet-Line-are-revealed.html
