Roald Dahl (Llandaff, September 13, 1916 - Oxford, November 23, 1990) was a Welsh novelist, short story writer, poet and screenwriter of Norwegian descent. Among his most popular works are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The Great Good-natured Giant, Agu Trot, The Witches and Tales of the Unexpected.
Roald attended cathedral school in Llandaff. At the age of eight, Roald and four of his friends were whipped by the principal after putting a dead mouse in a jar of sweets (specifically, of inflamofletes) in a neighborhood store, a punishment that his mother considered excessive, withdrawing him from school . When he was nine years old, he was sent to St. Peter's School, a private school in the coastal town of Weston-super-Mare, which he attended from 1923 to 1929. From the age of thirteen, he was educated at Repton School, in Derbyshire, where he was assistant to the prefect, he became captain of the fives school team and developed his interest in photography. During their years at Repton, Cadbury, a chocolate factory occasionally sent boxes of their new products to school for students to test. Dahl used to dream of inventing a new chocolate bar that would amaze Mr. Cadbury himself, inspiring him to write his second children's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
In November 1939 he joined the Royal Air Force. After a nearly 1,000 kilometer drive from Dar-es-Salaam to Nairobi, he was accepted for flight training along with sixteen other candidates, thirteen of whom would later die in air combat. With seven hours and forty minutes of experience in his de Havilland Tiger Moth, he began flying solo and appreciated the Kenyan wildlife during his flights. He continued with advanced training in Habbaniya (fifty miles west of Baghdad, Iraq). After six months flying Hawker Harts, he was made an officer and assigned to the RAF 80th Squadron, flying obsolete Gloster Gladiators. Dahl was surprised to discover that he would not be trained in air combat or how to fly Gloster Gladiators.
Dahl was rescued and taken to a first aid post at Mersah Matruh, where he regained consciousness (though not sight) and was transported by train to the Royal Navy hospital in Alexandria. There he fell in love with a nurse, Mary Welland, who was the first person he saw when he regained his sight, after eight weeks of blindness. Doctors said there was no chance of him flying again, but in February 1941, five months after entering the hospital, he was discharged and transferred to flight duties. At the time, the 80th squad was in Elevsis, near Athens, Greece, fighting alongside the British Expeditionary Force against the Axis forces, with no hope of defeating them. In April 1941, he crossed the Mediterranean Sea in a Hawker Hurricane to finally join his squad in Greece.
There he met a corporal who asked how long the new plane would survive, accompanied by only fourteen Hurricanes and four Bristol Blenheims across Greece against thousands of enemy aircraft. The squad leader was also not enthusiastic about having just one new pilot. Still, Dahl befriended David Coke, who, had he not later died in combat, would have become Earl of Leicester.
He began writing in 1942, when he was transferred to Washington as a deputy air attaché. His first published work, which appeared in the Saturday Evening Post on August 1, 1942, was a short story titled "No Brainer," describing his accident with the Gloster Gladiator. The original English title was "A piece of cake", but it was changed to "Shot down over Libya" ("Shot down over Libya").There he met a corporal who asked how long the new plane would survive, accompanied by only fourteen Hurricanes and four Bristol Blenheims across Greece against thousands of enemy aircraft.
