What's the difference between and escaper and an evader?
An Escaper is one who has already been captured, for example, a POW, If the prisoner was able to escape, he or she had to turn to evasion tactics.
An Evader is one who has not been captured. Many World War II evaders were either Army Air Corps (USAF) if they were from the United States, the Royal British Air Force (RAF) if they were from England, or they were in a branch of special forces.
