The Pilot And The Commando tells the stories of David Carter MBE (a
Fleet Air Arm pilot) and his close friend Jos Nicholl MC (an Army
commando), giving fresh and vivid insights into what it meant to be
a young man on active service in the Second World War, fighting in
places as remote as Ceylon, Africa, Madagascar, Yugoslavia and
Albania. Major events in which they participated also included the
sinking of the Ark Royal off Gibraltar, the Allied landings at
Salerno and the liberation of Sicily and Italy. A final chapter
puts their wartime service into the context of their later lives.
The Pilot And The Commando is much more, however, than just a
stirring commemoration of bravery in action. Both David and Jos
were committed Christians, and the book (much helped by the use of
diaries and letters) has as its central theme the testing and
strengthening of their faith through times of deep adversity.
Writing of his experiences soon after the war, Jos Nicholl
concluded: "I have found that Jesus Christ provides the inspiration
for every possible occasion or need. He can act as guide and helper
and comforter, but primarily He can be the driving force in a life
that is devoted to Him, and with this compelling power behind them
it becomes true in practice that 'the people that do know their God
shall be strong and do exploits'..." These words find complete
exemplification in The Pilot And The Commando. David and Jos's
story is both uplifting and challenging.
