The book you're referring to is likely "The Wooden Horse" by Eric Williams. It's an autobiographical account of Eric Williams' experiences as a British Royal Air Force pilot during World War II. In the book, there's a scene where Williams is shot down and injured, resulting in a hole in his cheek that he can touch with his finger. The book is also known for its detailed description of his time as a prisoner of war and his involvement in the famous "Wooden Horse" escape plan.
