Leslie Dawson, author of Wings Over Dorset. , was born in Southgate London. An active member of No 85 (Southgate) Squadron Air Training Corps, he first flew from Hendon, now home to the RAF Museum. A move to Dorset precluded over thirty years as a private pilot, glider, and motor gliding instructor, with chief flying instructor status. He was also commissioned within the RAFVR(T). The success of his book Wings Over Dorset. , a 100-year aviation history of the county, secured a series of television and radio interviews, begun with the BBC.
