Best-selling author Arthur Hailey died in his home in the Bahamas on Wednesday. He was 84.
His wife, Sheila, said doctors believe he had a stroke.
Born April 5, 1920, in Luton, England, Hailey had to stop school at 14 because his parents couldn't afford to send him
beyond
England's free education system. He served as a pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War II.
Hailey and his wife settled in the Bahamas in 1969.
