During the Gulf War in 1991, Iraqi forces captured several Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots after their aircraft were shot down. The captured pilots, including John Peters, Ian Forteath, John Nichol, and David Waddington, were subjected to brutal torture and interrogation by their Iraqi captors. They endured beatings, sleep deprivation, and psychological abuse, and were forced to sign false confessions. The pilots' resilience and determination in the face of adversity inspired many around the world, and their stories served as a reminder of the horrors of war and the importance of international cooperation in times of conflict.
