Here are the memoirs of Duncan Hamilton. For many years the story of this extraordinary man has been awaited and now at last it is here.

Things happen to Duncan! Sometimes he makes them happen, but often they just occur. Whether flying in the Fleet Air Arm or racing at Le Mans, he attracts remarkable situations as a starlet attracts wolf-whistles.

He is perhaps as well known for his personality as for his undoubted ability as a motor-racing driver. He is one of the few survivors of the immediate post-war group
of racing drivers and his own survival is due as much to his extraordinary durability as to his great skill.

It is a life of remarkable fullness that Duncan Hamilton describes, and although much of it is serious, it is packed with gaiety and excitement and there is never a dull moment. Dullness is about the only thing which cannot happen when Duncan is around!
