By Amy Phipps, Ben Jackson Verified| BBC Verified The story of how a World War Two soldier escaped capture after his Lancaster bomber crashed has been published by his son. Ronald Morley, from Leicester, was a wireless operator on the aircraft when it was shot down over occupied territory in Belgium in 1943. His family said he rarely spoke about how he evaded capture, but told his son Keith the story before his death. Keith said writing the book had been a long and emotional experience.
