Going Solo

Going Solo

"Going Solo" is an autobiography by Roald Dahl published in 1986. It is a continuation of his first autobiographical volume, "".

In the book Dahl tells how he goes to work for Shell and spends some time working in Tanzania (learning Swahili and learning all about venomous snakes). He eventually joins the war effort as a pilot in the Royal Air Force, flying the Tiger Moth, Gloster Gladiator, and Hawker Hurricane. He is one of the last Allied pilots to withdraw from Greece during the German invasion. After Greece falls to the Nazis, he goes to the Middle East to fight Vichy French pilots after staying for a brief time in Alexandria, Egypt.
