Ron Whitcombe wants to get out of Wellington and see the world.

Ron Whitcombe wants to get out of Wellington and see the world.

But it’s the middle of the Great Depression and he is stuck in a dead-end job as an office boy. He can’t see any way of changing his destiny.

In 1940, an advertisment in the newspaper catches his eye: ‘Duty calls – the Air Force needs qualified recruits!’

One year later he is flying planes across the Sahara Desert, and he has a rather risky side hustle on the go.

The Takoradi Run is a gripping adventure based on actual events, about World War Two, the end of an empire and a kit-bag full of cash!
Written and illustrated by Bob Kerr, the author of Jack & Sandy.
