Dealer Notes

Captain Patrick Hamilton, of the Royal Flying Corps, died on the 6th September, 1912, when the Deperdussin Monoplane he was flying with his observer Athole Wyness-Stuart from Wallingford to Hitchin, England, crashed. A similar incident involving a monoplane only four days later led to a committee of inquiry chaired by R. T. Glazebrook led the Royal Flying Corps to halt the use and development of monoplanes, and a consequent emphasis on the role of biplanes. This short memoir, by Hamilton’s sister, records his flying experiences following his return to Britain from India in 1911.
