Jack Reiter (3 March 1921 – 29 October 1999) was a United States Air Force colonel, lawyer and businessman.
He joined up with a group of British officers who had escaped from Castello di Vincigliata prison PG 12 camp during the Italian Armistice in September 1943.
The travelling was difficult through snow, and the efforts of ‘Rudolph’ Vaughan with his game leg and Jack Reiter with his dislocated thighs became an inspiration to them all.
After he returned to the United States, he put his experience to use by training military personnel in escape and survival techniques behind enemy lines.
He was vice president for government affairs for World Airways and the Washington representative for Flying Tigers International and Japan Airlines.
