Roald Dahl had some amazing WWII adventures as a fighter pilot. Starting out, he was given an obsolete Gloster Gladiator (the last biplane fighter aircraft used by the RAF) and sent in the wrong direction in Egypt. He ran out of fuel and crashed in the desert which blinded him for a while. And that was just the start.
