Please email us on enquiries@bentleypriorymuseum.org.uk if you would like to be added to this. \nJoin us for our Friday morning talk\, where popular historian\, author and speaker Helen Doe will be talking about the legendry Stanford Tuck. \nHer book is a completely new biography of this famous fighter ace. In January 1942 Tuck was one of the top three fighter aces. With film star good looks\, he was a glamorous role model for the RAF publicity machine and an eager press and public wanting wartime heroes. He fought over Dunkirk and distinguished himself in the Battle of Britain. But in 1942 he was shot down and imprisoned in Stalag Luft III where his roommate was Roger Bushell\, the Great Escape mastermind.  Tuck narrowly escaped being murdered by the Nazis and later made a successful escape into Russian territory. \nThe book has been written with access to Tuck’s personal papers and seeks to understand the complex man behind the myths. \nAbout Helen Doe \nHelen Doe is a historian\, author and speaker with a particular love of maritime subjects. It is people\, often the ordinary and\, sometimes unsung\, heroes and heroines that attract her attention.
