As a member of the renowned Flying Doctors Service, Dr. Anne Spoerry treated hundreds of thousands of people across rural Kenya over the span of fifty years, earning herself the cherished nickname “Mama Daktari”—“Mother Doctor.” Yet few knew that what drove her from post-World War II Europe to Africa was a past marked by rebellion, submission, and personal decisions that earned her another nickname—this one sinister—while working as a “doctor” in a Nazi concentration camp.

In Full Flight
explores the question of whether it is possible to rewrite one’s past by doing good in the present, and takes readers on an extraordinary journey into a dramatic life punctuated by both courage and weakness and driven by a powerful need to atone.

John brings this home with a personal touch that can only be conveyed by the author. An author who lived the experience. Who overcame huge hurtles to become a part of the experience. Dr. Heminway is an amazing story teller and continues to live the experience that fuels his books.

Great book

John Hemingway’s voice adds immensely to this gripping story. I thoroughly enjoyed the rich details of extreme human frailties during WWII followed by the disciplined quest for atonement in colonial Africa. Superb literary work!!!

Exceptionally well done!
