Loved it. A touching insight into the life of an RAF pilot with anecdotes that are beautifully written. Honest, critical, funny and tragic.
Great narrator!

Interesting account of Roald Dahl's life as an RAF fighter pilot and years just preceding. Very matter of fact account of some horrific things which in some ways is a little less rivetting as an account than it otherwise could be, but equally it's a powerful insight into the mindset of Dahl and his contemporaries saw their life and actions during a particularly intense time.

Interesting and insightful with good performance

This short autobiographical account describes the chapter of Roald Dahl’s early adult life when he travels to Kenya to work for Shell and then volunteers to train and fly as a pilot to support England’s effort in the Second World War. It combines wry humour with pathos in the way only Roald Dahl can and is excellently narrated by Dan Stevens.

A delightful listen
