Summary: Ron Witcombe wants to get out of Wellington and see the world. But it's the middle of the Great Depression and he is stuck in a dead-end job as an office boy. He can't see any way of changing his destiny. In 1940, an advertisment in the newspaper catches his eye: 'Duty calls - the Air Force needs qualified recruits!' One year later he is flying planes across the Sahara Desert, and he has a rather risky side hustle on the go. The Takoradi Run is a gripping adventure based on actual events, about World War Two, the end of an empire and a kit-bag full of cash!
Ages 11-16 years.
