The DOWA 81 - Escape from East Germany
As per Rob A.
In 1981, East Germany was still dominated under the Iron Heel of the Communist Bloc. The feared Stasi police kept watch on all citizens. Walls and fences kept people trapped inside, the most infamous portion being the Berlin Wall, where many people who attempted to cross were arrested, wounded, or killed. One citizen of East Germany made a home built aircraft to escape, along with his family. Much like the famous balloon escape that became a movie, this family took to the skies to fly to freedom. This is a link to a picture of that airplane. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...cape_plane.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/ File  OWA_81_selfmade_East_German_escape_plane.jpg
