In Autumn 1938 Roald is sent to Shell's branch office in Dar-es-Salaam, the capital of Tanganyika, East Africa (now Tanzania), on a three-year contract. He was a year into his contract with Shell when the Second World War broke out.
He writes in detail about his experiences in Africa in his later memoir, Going Solo.
