Between 1964 and 1966, David Koren was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Amaogwugwu, Umuahia, in Eastern Nigeria. When the Nigeria-Biafra war broke out in 1967 he was recalled to work on the Biafran Airlift that brought food and aid from Sao Tome into Biafra. His book ‘Far Away in the Skies’ is his account of his experiences on the airlift. It is on sale on Amazon.com. [A Nigerian edition will be launched in August, 2018.] Excerpts of the book are published here and on mybiafranstory.org under the category The Biafran Airlift.
