Roald Dahl is mostly celebrated for his children’s novels, but he was also an accomplished fighter-pilot and screenwriter.
Life And Achievements As A Fighter Pilot
Roald Dahl joined the Royal Air Force in 1939, and by 1946, he had advanced from the rank of Aircraftman all the way up to Squadron Leader.
An accident in 1940 left Dahl suffering from excruciating headaches, which he endured for four years before being given permanent leave in August 1946.
Life And Achievements As An Author
Roald Dahl wrote several stories whilst he was a pilot – the most famous being The Gremlins, a chilren’s story based on RAF folklore.
However, most of his books – including children’s classics such as The BFG, Matilda, and James and the Giant Peach – were written after he returned home from military service.
Life And Achievements As A Screenwriter
It wasn’t until the 1960s that Roald Dahl tried his hand at screenwriting. He wrote several scripts, the most notable being the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice.
