This thoroughly researched biographical account of the life of a South African WW2 pilot is sure to appeal widely. Ted's wartime exploits include the first midair skyjacking in history, many emergency crash landings, and carrying out dangerous rescue operations. Written largely in the first person, these exploits come vividly to life.
