Description

If Cliff Emeny had been born in another era, he almost surely would have been a swashbuckling hero worthy of a place in a Boy?s Own annual. He was an adventurer, by nature impulsive ? a young man not afraid to take risks. His thirst for adventure saw him in England as a nineteen-year-old as war was declared. True to form, he quickly joined the action as a seaman gunner. Over a decade this extraordinary Kiwi served in the Army, the Merchant Navy and the Air Force. Cliff was the recipient of three wings as an air gunner, a radar observer and a pilot; a feat to which he alone lays claim. His story is a fast-paced adventure that will have you holding your breath as you sit on the edge of your seat. From searing heights to a prison of war camp, Cliff Emeny?s true story is the vibrant and lively telling of his war-time experiences.
