BLAIR, Hamish
   Pseudonym of Andrew James Frazer Blair (1872-1935), Scottish author, journalist and editor, resident in India for many years. In 1957 (1930) he described how air power overcomes the Second Indian Mutiny. In its sequel, Governor Hardy (1931), he focused on the ensuing international intrigues and WAR. A third futuristic novel, The Great Gesture (1931), optimistically depicts the events leading to the founding in 1941 of a United States of Europe.
