”I have never found Dahl to be more terrifying or harder to put down that in these stories. As you might expect, each tale leaves a lasting impression. They have a dreamlike quality, unforgettable and likely, I’ve found, to spring to mind at the oddest moments, food for thought beyond time.”
Extract from foreword by Alex James, 2010.
During the Second World War Roald Dahl served in the RAF and suffered horrific injuries in an air crash in the Libyan desert.
Drawing on his own experiences as a fighter pilot, Dahl crafted these ten spine-tingling stories tell tales of life as a wartime fighter pilot: of air battles in the sky; of the nightmare of being shot down; the infectious madness of conflict; and the nervy jollity of the Mess and Ops room.
