oleg, the ejected pilot in Lockon-2 walks home after landing

I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but there was someone who posted earlier that it was attempted by at least one luftwaffe pilot to steal a plane to escape. Chuck Yeager, after being shotdown over enemy territory, hid for several weeks before stealing a FW-190 to escape to friendly territory. I'd highly recommend his autobiography.

Actually it was Bob Hoover, wingmann of Chuck yeager, who stole the Fw190 and escaped to the Netherlands after the escape from a prison camp.
There was only 1(one) german pilot who escaped a few times from a prisoncamp in england and was transfered to canada because of that, where he escaped again and reurned to germany to fight again. That was Franz von Werra (The One That Got Away), he almost managed to steal a prototype Hurricane, he was arrested while starting the engine.
