In 1936 he bought a house on top of a hill at Salcombe in South Devon and settled down with a Great Dane and twenty-three assorted cats. It was in 1941 that he made his name with The Snow Goose , a classic story of Dunkirk which became a world-wide best-seller. Having served as a gunners mate in the U.S. Navy in 1918, he was again active as a war correspondent with the American Expeditionary Force in 1944.
