About Raymond Flannery
Born in wartime Ireland, Raymond Flannery came of age in a world defined by conflict, faith and survival. From the rugged shores of Achill Island to the volatile frontlines of the Cold War, his life has been anything but ordinary.
At seventeen, he joined the Royal Navy. What followed was a journey across continents and ideologies. He served on aircraft carriers, deserted, faced court-martial, later joined the United States Air Force and flew during one of the most tense periods in modern history. He lived and worked in London, New York and Hollywood, navigating discipline, danger and the shifting politics of a divided world.
Raymond Flannery is not a spectator of history. He lived it.
