Herschel McKee's remarkable life story reads like that of a comic-book hero. A daredevil, a leader of men &, above all, a survivor, McKee fought in both World Wars, suffering numerous skirmishes with death. His colourful life included spells as a Foreign Legion soldier, racing driver, wing commander, and test pilot.
