I have a passion planes and war artifacts, but nothing more as I like reading biographies or in this case, autobiographies. Going Solo are the memories of Roald Dahl during his time as an RAF pilot in the Greek theater and later Syria. We face a somewhat romantic vision and a little hiperrrealista man for whom the war was finally made practical, as stated in the following lines "The survival was not so one fight more. I began to realize that the only way behave in a situation in which rained bombs and bullets went whistling, was to accept the dangers and all its consequences as calmly as possible. Distressed and desperate for it was useless. "Viewed from this perspective, the chronicles that Dahl makes his years as a pilot is not only raw but sensitive at a time. Recounts fly low over the prairie, while fleeing the One-Zero-Nine, and manages to see a goat, tells a funny scene about a lion who stole a woman, carrying in its mouth for more than two hundred meters and above all, the work breathes in deep love of a child by his mother, seen from the constant Dahl sent letters to his mother from the various battlefields. The descriptions of the air battles that held are disturbing, as the brief depiction of the Battle of Athens, where the last 15 hurricanes Greece beat defending more than 200 Meschermints 109 and 11th. And Dahl also speaks in the book, to love, aircraft, old Gladiator, the Tiger Moth and reliable terrible Ju 88 bombers. Amid all this paraphernalia of war, however, it is possible to find some stories that would give rise to scenes and stories of his future books. Read Going Solo daily is like entering a friend's friend would not free from controversy in his life, a journal that we are surprised by its simplicity and warmth.
