Before the war, H.F. King joined the magazine Flight (which later became Flight International) and did much flying, especially with the Royal Air Force. He was privileged to see the production of the Do 17 bomber and other Dornier aircraft, in Germany shortly before the war. In 1939 he became a war correspondent and in 1940 was commissioned in the RAF for technical intelligence duties concerning new enemy aircraft and weapons, including flying bombs and rockets. At the end of the war he interrogated the principal German aircraft designers before rejoining Flight. He visited Korea to cover the air war, and later became Editor of Flight. In 1964 he resigned to take up writing, and his books include Aeromarine Origins and The Armament of British Aircraft 1909-1939
