Lance Shippey.
I have read his biography ‚The Man with Odessa‘,including various adventures such as equivalent of SERE / interrogation course conducted by. Flaming haired giant of an operative in a cellar and passing with flying colors to been told there be a cushioned jump on the docks he escaped from a freighter in the Black Sea only to break his legs or ankle.
