An English gentleman's vivid account of flying over North Africa
19. Oktober 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I read this in 1999, when Prof. Morley-Mower visited our WWII history class and spoke about his "misadventures" as he called them. After hearing just a few tales, I hurried to the bookstore to pick up this colorful memoir. He was not a fighter pilot, but he did fly some very dangerous recon missions over North Africa, particularly with the Aussies. I can tell you that he is every bit the English gentleman, and his trademark wit comes through in every chapter, but there are two anecdotes in particular that are some of my favorite WWII stories--one of which was published in WWII magazine. It's not the most exciting WWII book I've read, but I don't think you'll find a better book about the desert air war. If you like WWII pilot memoirs, this will be an excellent and unique addition to your collection.

Wow, what a GREAT book!
9. Februar 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
How can a book about war be funny? How can a book about killing and destruction make you laugh and smile? If its beautifully written it can be. If you read this book you'll soon understand that Geoffrey Morley-Mower (English Lit. Prof. Morley-Mower) not only can write, he can tell a story too.
Prof. Morley-Mower tells the story about his service as a Recon pilot flying with the RAF in North Africa. He's an Englishman, fighting with a collection of pilots from all over the Commonwealth, in the conditions of the desert as brought to life through the written page.
This book is a great read, one of those few books that when they come along you just have to say WOW!
When you read this book, if you're like me, you'll want to tell everyone about it. Some people will tolerate your telling of the tale. Others won't care. But the tale is so good that it won't matter. Sometimes just telling the tale is enough.
Enjoy the book and share the tale. I think you'll be glad you did.
Prof. Morley-Mower has written another book, Flying Blind and I can't wait to read it too.
