"Always Tomorrow" by John Leeming.

Leeming was on a plane delivering gold bars to the Italian resistance when shot down over the Mediterranean. He and the crew frantically shovelled something like 5 million pounds worth of gold out of the plane into the ocean before bailing out. He spent much of the war in an Italian POW camp, and his book is hugely entertaining.

"Always Tomorrow" comes from the standard response of Italian camp officers when the prisoners wanted something done: "Domani, domani!" Tomorrow, tomorrow.

I read it years ago, enjoyed it enormously, and haven't found a copy since. I'm still looking.
