Description

During his many reconnaissance missions in Europe and the Far East; the young Bogarde experienced the terror of enemy attack and the horror of its aftermath; together with the intense camaraderie and bitter humour of the battlefield. He also felt; like countless others; a feeling of utter hopelessness at the wars end; when; as suddenly as the fighting had stopped; these youthful; but hardened comrades-in-arms were dispersed to find their feet in a traumatised world. Less than a year after demob no one could have been more astonished to find himself starring in his third feature film with car; chauffeur and five-storey house in Chester Row. He had somehow arrived in the movies.Cleared for Take-Off offers his recollections of a wide-ranging compendium of episodes from his remarkable life that further reinforce Bogardes reputation as a deeply touching yet sharply observant writer.First published in 1997; this is Dirk Bogardes final addition to his acclaimed series of memoirs.
