The Twisted Florin: Evasion from France, Escape from Italy Squadron Leader John Mott MBE - Softcover
The Twisted Florin is a compelling wartime adventure story that follows one of World War II’s forgotten heroes—Squadron Leader Arnold John Mott. As told by his niece, Stella Clare Marsh, his story offers a very personal and evocative tale of one man’s extraordinary wartime experiences.
Mott was a bomber pilot who completed nineteen missions before being shot down and captured, but following the Italian armistice he escaped into the Alps through Yugoslavia to rejoin service, this time with the No. 1 Special Force. The Twisted Florin details Mott’s incredible wartime bravery and offers fresh perspectives on the devastating personal effect of the war on servicemen and civilians.

A very personal and evocative tale of one mans journey to war, and his work - first as a bomber pilot completing nineteen missions before being shot down,and then evading capture across the Pyrenees to return to duty flying Lysanders with the Special Duties squadron out of RAF Tangmere, including missions for the Special Operations Executive (SOE) . In 1942 his Lysander got bogged down and John was captured, but following the Italian armistice he managed to escape into the Alps through Yugoslavia to rejoin service, this time with No. 1 Special Force due to his unique knowledge of a specific partisan group. The Twisted Florin details the incredible wartime bravery, amazing ingenuity and coincidences with daring and courage long associated with WW2 escape and evasion. It also offers fresh perspectives on the devastating personal effect of the war on servicemen and civilians, on both the home front and in occupied Europe.
