Add to basketCondition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Hardcover, 2013). 2013 1st edition. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Pp183. B/w photograph plates. Buff boards, spine printed in red. Mint new copy in dust-wrapper. Dare Wilson's sporting career dates back to 1920s when, as a small boy, he started fishing in Northumberland on the River Derwent. Since then as he has pursued successful careers in the army and in conservation, he has fished and shot all over the world; turkey hunting and snake catching in Georgia, pheasants in Korea, sand grouse and quail in Palestine, geese in Ireland, ducks in Manitoba. A natural story teller, General Wilson's sporting career almost ended while wildfowling on the Wash in early 1939 - he, his Cambridge University friends, and their dogs, were saved by a miracle. An uninterrupted line of black Labradors have shared Dare's experiences. The current one is the twelfth. For good measure the General tells of his thrilling winter sports (skiing and cresta) and parachuting experiences. His team of SAS free-fallers broke the World Record in 1962 - though tragically one member died. Dare may have lived life on the edge but the risks he has taken have always been carefully calculated. Had they not been he would not still be an active fisherman and shot in his 90's. This is a treasure trove of sporting stories. Chapters include: The seeds are sown; Problems on the wash; 'Paradise to a shooter'; A blizzard on the Solway; Wildfowling reverie; Chancing it in No-Man's-Land; Sandgrouse beyond Beersheba; Recollections from Egypt and Sudan; Quail, francolin and chukar in Palestine; Lake Hula, a Mecca for duck; The ponds of Beisan; Turkey hunting in Manitoba; Turkey hunting and snake catching in Georgia; Duck hunting in Manitoba; Pheasants in Korea and duck in Hong Kong; White-fronted geese in Wexford; Sporting options in Kenya; The magic of grouse; The charm of ptarmigan; Woodcock, snipe and the minstrel of the moors; Rabbits and rough shooting; The fascination of salmon; Sea trout and otters; Wildlife in Lapland; Sporting interludes in Germany; The unique Cresta Run; The six-mile free-fall parachute drop; Eighty-five years of shooting for sport.

Tempting the Fates (Hardcover)
Language: English
Published by Pen & Sword Books Ltd, Barnsley, 2006
ISBN 10: 1844154351 ISBN 13: 9781844154357
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. General Dare Wilson saw action in France 1940 (Dunkirk), Italy and North West Europe (where he won his MC) with the Northumberland Fusiliers and later the Recce Regiment. He then served in Palestine and Korea which he rates as the most vicious war he fought in. He was picked to command 22 SAS and was responsible for basing them at Hereford. His account of the world record-breaking free fall jump free falling from 34,000 feet makes thrilling reading - one member died. He went on to fight the Mau Mau in Kenya and was in the last party to leave Aden when we withdrew in 1968. Dare then learnt to fly helicopters and commanded the fledgling Army/Air Corps. We believe that this is one of the most enthralling of the many superb memoirs we have published. Certainly it is the widest in its scope and makes for thrilling reading. 9.2 x 6.1" Presents a memoir covering fighting in WW2, Korea and numerous other 'small' wars. General Dare Wilson saw action at Dunkirk, in Italy and North West Europe. He then served in Palestine and Korea which he rates as the most vicious war he fought in. He was picked to command 22 SAS and was responsible for basing them at Hereford. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
