The fascinating story of Roald Dahl's life continues in Going Solo, a marvelous evocation of the author's wartime exploits. As a pilot in World War II, Roald Dahl had some wonderfully exciting and frighteningly near-death experiences including encounters with the enemy, battles with deadly snakes, and incredible dogfights. Told with the same irresistible appeal that has made Dahl one of the world's best-loved writers, Going Solo brings you directly into the action and into the mind of this brilliant man.
Inimitable style, off-the-wall humor, good eye for how people really are - all these make-up the interesting books for both adults and children by now classic author Roald Dahl. This book is autobiographical, and both hilarious and heart-tugging.
