Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Tarzan and the Foreign Legion


As a Colonel in the RAF, Tarzan ("John Clayton") joins a reconnaisance flight in an American WWII bomber. The crew has mixed feelings about being joined by a Brit. The plane is shot down over Japanese-controlled Sumatra. The eyes of the doubters are opened as Tarzan's exploits are seen. Very clever, humorous dialog, excellent plot in a truly historical setting, WWII Malaysia. Highly enjoyable read.
