Going Solo written by Roald Dahl performed by Andrew Sachs on Cassette (Unabridged)

Continuing the story begun in "Boy", this is the second part of Roald Dahl's autobiography, in which he creates a world as bizarre and unnerving as any you will find in his fiction. In Africa, our hero, more or less single-handed, rounds up a convoy of Germans leaving Dar-es-Salaam at the beginning of WWII.

Then he becomes a fighter puilot, crashing a plane in no man's land in the Western Desert, and then does yeoman service in Hurricanes during the last hopeless days in Greece before he is grounded.
