The Shelburne Line was a World War II escape network operating in occupied France, successfully returning 136 Allied servicemen to England. The French Resistance located downed airmen and hid them from the Germans in a series of safe houses. Once a month—during the dark of the moon—the men were transported to the Brittany coast to meet a British Motor Gun Boat that would take them back to England.

Join Rick Feingold as he recounts the remarkable story of his father, Lt. Louis Feingold, a pilot in the U.S. Army Air Forces. Lt. Feingold flew 21 bombing missions before being shot down over enemy-occupied France after his B-17 was attacked by seven German fighters.

Rick will share his father’s escape story through letters, maps, photos, and original fake identity cards. This is an in-person program; registration is not required. Light refreshments will be served.
