However, he got far more excitement than he bargained for when the outbreak of the Second World War led him to join the RAF. His account of his experiences in Africa, crashing a plane in the Western Desert, rescue and recovery from his horrific injuries in Alexandria, and many other daring deeds, recreates a world as bizarre and unnerving as any he wrote about in his fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Centenary Collection:\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eThe Last Enemy \u003c\/i\u003eby Richard Hillary\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eTumult in the Clouds\u003c\/i\u003e by James Goodson\u003cbr\u003e3. \u003ci\u003eGoing Solo \u003c\/i\u003eby Roald Dahl\u003cbr\u003e4. \u003ci\u003eFirst Light \u003c\/i\u003eby Geoffrey Wellum\u003cbr\u003e5. \u003ci\u003eTornado Down\u003c\/i\u003e by John Peters \u0026amp; John Nichol\u003cbr\u003e6. \u003ci\u003eImmediate Response\u003c\/i\u003e by Mark Hammond \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307551990142,"sku":"NW9781405937535","price":9.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781405937535.jpg?v=1778246543","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/going-solo-the-centenary-collection","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
