Going Solo tells of how, when he grew up, Roald Dahl left England for Africa - and a series of daring and dangerous adventures began... Going Solo was published in 1986, the year Roald turned 70. The stories he selected to tell give a fascinating insight into some of the experiences that helped shape his later life.

Going Solo is Roald Dahl's marvellous evocation of his wartime exploits. Continuing the story he began in Boy, it is a series of superb stories and daring deeds, telling of African safaris, encounters with the enemy and pertinent advice on what to do to avoid snake-bites and what not to do if you find yourself in a lion's mouth! It is hard to imagine a more colourful and exciting autobiography.

From the bestselling author Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The BFG comes an autobiographical account of his exploits as a World War II pilot! Superb stories, daring deeds, fantastic adventures! Learn all about Roald Dahl's encounters with the enemy, his worldwide travels, the life-threatening injuries he sustained in a plane accident, and the rest of his sometimes bizarre, often unnerving, and always colorful adventures. Told with the same irresistible appeal that has made Roald Dahl one of the world's best-loved writers, Going Solo brings you directly into the action and into the mind of this fascinating man.

От автора: «В первой части этого повествования я направляюсь в Восточную Африку на первую в своей жизни должность, но в повседневной работе мало захватывающих событий, поэтому я расскажу лишь о тех моментах, которые глубоко засели в моей памяти. Во второй части этой книги, где описывается моя служба в ВВС, мне не пришлось выбирать или отбрасывать отдельные эпизоды, так как каждый момент – во всяком случае, для меня – был незабываемым.»
