During World War II, on Nov. 2, 1944, Everette Harris, an Air Force waist gunner on a B-17 bomber called "The Eight Ball," was shot down over occupied Holland. The plane came down on its belly and German troops who watched it come down took its crew prisoner. (The captain, Lt. Jack Davis, who was carrying classified documents, escaped for 30 days and was hidden by Dutch citizens, but was shot after being captured.) Everette was imprisoned for a year at Stalag 4 near the Russian border and liberated by the British army near the end of the war.
