Bookroo's summary

Roald Dahl, famed storyteller, embarks on a real-life adventure as a WWII pilot. Facing perilous air battles, exotic African landscapes, and life-threatening injuries, Dahl's journey is as thrilling as his fiction. Will he survive the chaos of war and the bizarre encounters that await? Discover the true tales behind the imagination of one of the world's beloved authors in this gripping autobiographical account.

From the publisher

“Going Solo,” the second part of Roald Dahl’s compelling and colourful autobiography, creates a world as bizarre and unnerving as any you will find in his fiction. A marvellous evocation of his wartime exploits, it tells of African safaris and deadly snakes; of fighter planes and incredible air battles with the enemy during World War Two.
