书籍介绍
During the Second World War Roald Dahl served in the RAF and suffered horrific injuries in an air crash in the Libyan desert. Drawing on his own experience as a fighter pilot, Dahl crafted these ten spine-tingling stories: of air battles in the sky; of the nightmare of being shot down; of the infectious madness of conflict; and of the nervy jollity of the Mess and Ops room. Dahl brilliantly conveys the bizarre reality of a wartime pilot's daily existence, where death is a constant companion and life is lived from one heartbeat to the next.

终于看完了……太难受了……对Dahl老爷子只想说一句话：Thank you for surviving. ……就这样QAQ
He has this talent of developing a concept into a breathtakingly beautiful symphonic movement. Dahl 在 Going Solo 里写自己的 RAF 经历有一种举重若轻的玩笑感，像是在 dinner party 讲 anecdotes；这里带读者坐过山车。有几篇有潜力成为惊悚法国动画。
Beautiful and cruel short stories, while wars on
每篇都是以飞行员为主角，或多或少都有些他自己的经历素材，这本里每篇都很出彩，Dahl是个非常本色的故事大王， 我很想一篇篇回味，然而此时更忍不住要去看他另外写的自己飞行员经历的回忆录
