Rajinder Sharma, an Indian man born in Mombasa, has a wealth of life experience to share in A Life Post-1939. From plucking mangoes from high trees and a rescue from a sinking dhow as a child, he moved on to become an established member of the RAF. During his time in service, Sharma has seen more of the world than most people could ever dream of during their working life, and Sharma dedicatedly details different cultures, lives, ambitions and dreams in his memoirs. This book shows us the ups and downs of an out of the ordinary life, from childhood to retirement. Through determined schooling in a developing country, a life's worth of service in the RAF and fathering and adoring two children, Sharma paints a beautiful picture of a life truly lived.
