He survived a midair collision in Canada, then, at nineteen, as the Captain of a Wellington II, lost an engine over the Atlas mountains during the African campaign and was faced with the agonizing choice of crash landing, bailing out or finding a safe airfield hundreds of miles away in the Sahara Desert. An illuminating insight into the experiences and emotions of wartime RAF service. |
