Dahl's father died when he was a child.
Before dying, his father often said that the only good schools were the British boarding schools. When his mother sent him to school, he was dreadfully homesick.
At the age of nine, Dahl was in a motorcar accident that almost left him without a nose. His half-sister, who had purchased a car and received only the most basic instruction in driving (this is the brake, this is the gas, have a good time), was driving the family down a country road when they crashed into a bush. The windshield broke and the only one who received more than minor cuts and bruises was Dahl; his nose was barely attached to his face. Fortunately, they were able to get him to the doctors' office to get it sewn back on.
Dahl had adenoids (blood clots at the roof of the mouth that often cause sinus troubles) as a child, and when they were removed, they were removed without antiseptic because it was not widely used at that time.
He often struggled in school.
Dahl flew spy planes for the British in WWII. He got into a plane crash and was discharged shortly thereafter.
For more issues in Roald Dahl's youth, see his autobiography 'Boy: Tales of Childhood'. For more about his adult life, see 'Going Solo'.
Roald Dahl faced challenges during his childhood, including losing his father and sister at a young age, and surviving a serious accident as a fighter pilot during World War II. Additionally, Dahl struggled with dyslexia which impacted his academic performance. These experiences influenced his writing and fueled his creativity.
