He joined the RAF and trained as a Wireless Operator/Air Gunner (WOP/AG). Over the course of the war he flew on operations in Swordfish, Catalina and Liberator aircraft and travelled to four continents. Following a U-boat sinking by his crew, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (D.F.C.). After the war he trained and practiced as an architect and planner in the UK. He was also Senior Lecturer in Town Planning at the University of Manchester before becoming Director of the Teesside Survey and Plan in the 1960s. Later he continued his work as an architect and planner. After that, he studied global politics and is concerned for the future that the world is creating for itself - a theme which will be addressed in his next book.показать меньше
