Dedicated to the memory of R.O. Henley Jr., 384th Bomb Group navigator and survivor of Stalag Luft 3 POW camp.
Curated by his great-granddaughter, Mikayla Leech, this website and accompanying book, From Stephenville, Texas to Stalag Luft 3 serve as a living archive for R.O.'s friends and fellow airmen, capturing the unrelenting human spirit of those who endured the unthinkable.
This website also serves as a tribute to the bond of friendship forged in captivity, and a commitment to ensuring their stories are never forgotten.
