The story of kiwi pilot Phil Lamason saving 167 airmen from the Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp isn't well known in New Zealand, even among military personnel.
A book out this Wednesday aims to change that. The book titled I Would not Step Back chronicles the life of Phil Lamason who died in 2012 after spending the rest of his time as a farmer in Dannevirke.
Mike Harold is a co-author of the book and knew Phil Lamason through their connection as farmers.
