From Tiger Moths to Hurricanes, Vengeance dive-bombers to Spitfires, the author of this action-packed memoir flew planes of all kinds in the course of the Second World War - and has many entertaining stories to tell along the way. As soon as he was old enough he fulfilled his boyhood ambition of becoming a pilot, and, after initial training in Tiger Moths in what was then Southern Rhodesia, he joined RAF squadrons in India in 1943. It was a life full of adventures, some of them hair-raising - with anything from hornets in the engine to bombs apparently failing to discharge - and all of them are brought to life with an infectious verve and enthusiasm.Connor, Don W. is the author of 'Sting of Flight ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781844016716 and ISBN 1844016714.
