Roald Dahl, 13 September 1916 – 23 November 1990, he was 74 when he died, at a time he had become one of the worlds favorite author. Some of his books the Fantastic Mr. Fox, The BFG, The Twits, Matilda and James and The Giant Peach. To me, he was a great author. Roald Dahl went through World War II, Dahl had become an officer in the Kings African Rifles. In 1939 he joined the Royal Airforce, after a 600 mile car journey in Africa from Dar-es-Salaam to Nairobi he had flight training with 20 other people. And he was only 1 of three out of the 20 that survived the war. Dahl enjoyed watching the animals and wildlife of Kenya during his flights. He continued his flight training in Baghdad, Iraq. Dahl was made a pilot officer.
Dahl first published work was called "Shot Down Over Libya", that was the book that started his career as an author. Its title was inspired by a highly inaccurate article about the crash that blinded him, which said he had been shot down instead of having to land because of low fuel. His first childrens book was called the Gremlins, it was published in 1943. And then Dahl went on making some of the best childrens books of the 20th century such as Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Matilda and James and the Giant Peach. Unfortunately he died in 1990 because of a rare blood disease and could never make a book again. But the kids in the world still read his books, and always will, Roald Dahl is a great author. links- www.wikipedia.org

Yash, this is a pretty good author page. You have a lot of good information, plus the writing has your voice. It was not copied directly from another source. The article claimed he was blind, but this was not true, eh? And yes, he has left readers a rich legacy of reading material.
