Geoffrey Perret in his popular history of the Army Air Forces in World War
II - "Winged Victory" mentions several times that entire aircrews talked openly about landing in Sweden or Switzerland just to get out of the war. I'm sure there were less "gung ho" squadrons and wings than Art's where they thought that they could get away with such talk. At the end of the war in the ETO, there was about a division's worth of deserters in the US Army. I wonder if some crews actually did desert in this way, and if they did, what happened to them after the war.
