(He used his pen-name as an author to protect his engineering career from any potential negative publicity in connection with his novels. ) Dissatisfied with the lack of opportunities for advancement, he took a position in 1924 with Vickers Ltd. , where he was involved with the development of airships, working as Chief Calculator (stress engineer) on the R100 airship project for the Vickers subsidiary Airship Guarantee Company. In 1929 he was promoted to Deputy Chief Engineer of the R100 project under Barnes Wallis and when Wallis left the project he became the Chief Engineer. " (from Wikipedia) .
