The penance way: The mystery of Puffin's Atlantic voyage

Naydler, Merton

Hutchinson of London

<p>"It was all obviously a matter of luck, but I never for one moment doubted mine; I had already proved myself a survivor." Merton Naydler joined the RAF at the age of 19 and served until 1946. He flew Spitfires and Hurricanes during a tour of duty that took him to North Africa, Burma and Malaya. His memoir portrays wartime life in the desert environment where sand and life under canvas made living and flying a daunting experience. When the author was posted to Burma, he joined 11 Squadron and was now faced with Japanese Zeroes in combat over dense tropical jungle. This is the story of a sergeant pilot who learned his trade the hard way - in action over Africa - and then honed his combat skills in the skies over Japanese-held tropical forests.</p>
