Ian Allan, London, 1989. first UK edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, FINE/FINE CONDITION, 168 pages, illustrations, appendices incl. Roll of Honour for # 8 Group, RAF, index.............................................. Hamish is the story of Gp Capt T. G. Mahaddie as told by himself Halton apprentice, bomber pilot, staff officer, station commander, technical adviser to the British film industry, and raconteur par excellence.In a lively narrative liberally laced with anecdotes, Hamish reflects on his formative years in Edinburgh during the Great War, and the part he played in the 'Trenchard Experiment' at Halton in the late 1920s. We follow him to the outposts of the Empire during the 1930s with his posting to Egypt and Iraq, where he gained his wings. On his return to the UK in 1937 he found a very different Air Force from the one he had known several years before. Not only had the people changed but so had the circumstances. It was now an Air Force frantically preparing for the inevitable cataclysm of war which was about to engulf the world...................................................................... Hamish flew on two tours of operations during World War 2 with Bomber Command in the dangerous night skies over Europe in Whitleys and Stirlings, interspersed with an instructing tour at an OTU in Scotland before joining AVM Don Bennett's Staff at Pathfinder Force HQ. In February 1943 he was awarded the DSO, DFC, AFC and Czech Military Cross surely an RAF record! He finished the war as Station Commander at RAF Warboys where, with the help of one Cpl Christian, he transformed the Sergeants' and Airmen's Messes into Meccas of popular entertainment with seating liberated from the Globe Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. At one stage he was the only Station Commander in Bomber Command with an elephant on the strength!..................................................... Postwar, Hamish followed the usual mundane duties of the peacetime RAF, but during this time he introduced the Canberra into Bomber Command service.Upon retirement from the RAF in 1958 he acted as technical adviser to various feature films including The Battle of Britain and A Bridge Too Far.
