Acerca del libro
It was the time of National Service but in order to serve in a regiment of his choice David Waterman lied about his age and volunteered to join the famous "Red Devils" a name earned by the Regiment during their time fighting in North Africa.
His experiences were life changing as he developed a joy of parachuting which lead him to take up skydiving later in life ( leading a British Team in World Championships) and gained an interest in photojournalism which he took up professionally winning a number of National and International awards.
Passing the awesome selection course (with a failure rate at times of 50%)
installed in him a feeling that anything is achievable if you really want it.
So you could say "Once a para, always a Para"
