Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| One of the characters I most enjoyed was David Coke, pronounced Cook. David is extraordinarily kind even throughout hard times of the war. When Roald Dahl first arrived at the Greece airbase the CO greets Roald with, "You can find yourself a bunk in one of the tents. You'll start flying tomorrow like the rest of them." The CO doesn't greet him with, "I'm glad you made it," or "How are you?" David gives Roald a good greeting and trys to help Roald by teaching him tips on combat.
An aspect of the book that I liked was that the story is true. The experiences that Roald endured are amazing and surreal. He joins the Greece air force of fifteen, up against hundreds of German fighters, with no combat experience, and alone. It's survival. There story of survival can be scaled to the part after the Battle of Athens when both Roald and David get back to their base. "I think were going to get killed," Roald said. "So do I, said David. "you can have the basin in a moment. I left a bit of water in the jug in case you happen to come back." Both pilots thought they were going to die.
I chose to read this book because I knew it was a flying book and it was titled "Going Solo." Though I have never been in a fight like that, I felt a slight connection. As does any pilot when they hear the word solo. To some degree the word solo to a pilot is the same as survival. I recommend this book to all adventure seekers.
