Also notable is Fly West, a book of true stories based on his experiences flying in Short Sunderland flying boats during the Second World War. Ivan Southall dealt in his books both with survival in the face of dramatic events such as fire and flood, and with personal and psychological challenges. He was one of the first to write specifically for young adults.
