Lemsip 698 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Hello all Here is my completed video series based on the book by Roald Dahl. The book covers some of Roald Dahl's experience as a fighter pilot mainly during the Greek Campaign in 1941, with some flying also done in the Western Desert and Syria and Palestine. Thanks for everyone who followed and supported my efforts with this series, it was great bringing this story to life!

von_Tom 498 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Excellent stuff. You could also do landing in the desert, crashing in the desert and the death of Pattle. I don't know why, but it seems odd that someone so famous now should have been involved in such things. And at 6' 6" it must have been a tight squeeze. Not built for a Spitfire. von Tom 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DFLion 324 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 How are you Lemsip, I just watched all your 'Going Solo' videos. I haven't read Roald Dahl's book 'Going Solo' and I didn't realize where he served during WWII. I have a very close family connection with the North Africa, Greece, Crete campaign and I will privately tell you the amazing story one day of my relation. Keep up the good work you are doing, bringing alive what really happened to real people during various aerial actions in WWII - IL2 Sturmovik 'Great Battles' is the best platform to achieve this, and it is getting better all the time.

Brazo 3 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I first read going solo as a kid and it had a huge impact on me, loved it. Love Roald Dahl! Indeed my PS3 ‘moniker’ was ‘dareslam’ in honour of his time in dar es salaam. Fantastic videos am enjoying working my way through them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
