THE_BACK-ROOM AIR COMMODORE TELLS-

How we got the blockbusters

By MORRIS BROWN

N the night of April 15, 1941, the Luftwaffe raided London. A bomb destroyed the eyesight of Air Commodore Huskinson, bomb expert and "back room boy" of the Ministry of Aircraft Production.

Three months later, with dark glasses hiding his useless eyes, Huskinson was back at his desk directing the planning and development of his "block-busters." He memorised letters as they were read to him. He followed plans and blueprints with his finger-tips, after an assistant had pricked out their lines with a spiked wheel.

Now he has told his story, in a book "Vision Ahead." It is the record of a man of action and high courage, who earned him- self a reputation as a "red- tape" cutler in the RAF between the wara. Such men, often frustrated in peace-time come into their the urgency of own with
