KILLED t>\ ACTIVE SKRVICE-Act. Fit. C. J.Merryfull. R.A.F. WAR t o^m \XIM:us Air Marshal Sir Leslie Hollinghurst AIR aiARSHAL SIR LESLIE NORMANHOLLINGHURST, K.B.E., C.B., D.F.C., has the reputation of boipg one of the R.A.F.'s outstanding organizers, and this no doubt influenced his recent appoint- ment to what is one of the most onerous posts in the R.A.F., that of Air Member for Supply and Organization in the Air Council. He was educated at Felsted. In 1914. he enlisted as a motor cycle despatch rider in the Royal Engineers, and in 1916 was commissioned in the Middlesex Regiment. In March, 1017, he trans- ferred to the R.F.C., saw service in France, and in 1918 was awarded the D.F.C. for the destruction of four enemy aircraft and another driven down out of control. After the war Sir Leslie served in India. In 1924, he completed a R.A.F. Staff College course, and three years later he was appointed to the staff of theG.O.C, Shanghai Defence Force. In India, in 1931, he was awarded an O.B.E. for "operations on the North- west Frontier, and from 1932 com- manded No. 20 Squadron for two years. He then returned to take up a post on the Directing Staff of the R.A.F. Staff College. In 1938 he passed through' the Imperial Defence Cwllrtw and then joined A.M.S.O.'s department at Air Ministry as Deputy Director ot Peace Organization. Later he became Director of Organization, and eventually Director-General of Organiza- tion with the rank of Air Vice- Marshal, receiving a C.B. in I94-- Thus he already has considerable ex- perience of the departments which he now represents on the Air Council. When "Holly," as he is familiarly known, left Air Ministry in July, 1943, he became A.O.C. 9 Group, but four months later was posted as A.O.C. 38 Group, where he did magnificent work in the building up of the airborne squadrons in preparation for the re-entry into Europe. The success of the British airborne operations on the Normandy bridgehead was due in no small measure to his efforts. He flew into France himself with the first party of his men on D-day. Sir Leslie was awarded a C.B.E. in 1944, and at the end of that year was posted as A.O.C. British Air Forces South-East Asia with th<; rank of Air Marshal. In July, 1045, at the age of 50, he suc- ceeded to the post of A.M.S.O., taking over from Air Chief Marsha! Sir Christopher Courtney, at the same time receiving a knighthood.
