Going Solo is Dahl's time with the RAF (Royal Air Force). He writes I did not need... to leave out anything here because every moment was, to me, totally interesting.

In his depictio...n of the monstrous Wormwoods and psychotic Miss Trunchbull, Dahl created some of his most memorable villains; and in Matilda, he created his greatest and best-loved heroine - an enduring emblem of resistance in the face of tyranny for more than thirty years.
