She has written 22 books about them since the reign of George V. She covered the birth of Princess Mar garet, the abdication of Edward VIII. the wedding of Queen Elizabeth and her coronation. . ; By MARGARET SAVILLE f United Press Correspondent, London (U.R) Princess Margaret was nine, a little girl playing with dolls on the after noon in -1940 when Peter Town send led his fighter squadron against 250 German aircraft over the Thames estuary. Townsend shot down three en emy planes in that one clash... Only a few weeks before, Townsend- himself - had been wounded -in the- foot and shot down. He parachuted from his Spitfire just in time; was rushed to a hospital where -doctors am putated his left big foe. Within two -weeks he was in the - air again. Townsend was one of those about whom Winston Churchill said "Never has so much been owed by so many to so few." And so it was that seldom has even a storybook princess had such a knight in shining, armor come along as Margaret did when her war hero Tpwnsend was picked by the late George VI as; an equerry to the royal family at Buckingham Palace. By that time Margaret was 13, Townsend 29. Townsend had married in 1941. The king moved him and his wife, Rosemary, into Ade laide Cottage, a grace and favor residence near 'Windsor Castle. The king was godfather to the couple's second son. Townsend became very popu lar at the palace. He sampled movies and plays in advance of royal attendance, arranged de tails of royal appearances, played canasta with the queen and en tertained the king's daughters Elizabeth and Margaret . Aide to princess In 1947 he went to South Africa as an aide to Princess Margaret and in 1948 the king chose him to be the 17-year-old Margaret's equerry on his first solo visit aboard to Holland for Queen Juliana's coronation. Townsend was a special favor ite with the queen mother and the princess. In 1949 Margaret asked him to fly her blue and gold Miles Whitney straight rac ing plane in the King's cup air races. He was ah also ran but the next year he tried again and finished second. But Townsend's duties, which made him the target of every West End society hostess, cost him many hours of overtime work and cut deeply into his home life. The breakup of his marriage came six years after he went to the palace. And it was just before Christmas of 1942 that a court granted him a divorce de cree on grounds of his wife's ad ultery with . export 'merchant John Adolphus de Laszlo, son of the late portrait painter, Philip de Laszzlo. . Townsend was awarded cust ody of their two sons. His for mer wife married de Laszlo in February, 1953. King George had died the year of the divorce and it was then that Margaret drew very close to Townsend.

Eastern Background , Townsend was born in Ran goon, Burma, the third child of an officer in the Indian Civil service. His childhood was spent in Burma and -Assam, explain ing his love of Eastern .color, warmth and exotic foods. " He was educated at Hailebury in England, Clement Attlee's old school. One sister married : Ar thur Gaitskell,. brother of form er Socialist Chancellor of the ex chequer Hugh Gaitskell. Townsend was a . shy youth until he joined the RAF is 1935. He lost that shyness in the buc caneering fighter pilot days of the war. Townsend and his spe cial pal, a South African named Caesar Hull, who was later killed, originated - a weird victory dance in the mess hall called "La Cachita." They threw each other over the chairs and tables in a wild Apache whirl. The wavy-haired, handsome Townsend became very popular with his comrades. One fellow pilot wrote of him in a letter: "The squadron worships him. He is a hero to the ground crews." He has no idea of his own courage.." Man of Action When Townsend came to serve the royal family" he was like a breath of fresh air from the out side world 1 for Margaret.- He was mature, confident, exper ienced, a man of action. He shared her budding tastes for books, drama, music, paint ing and a keen interest in cur rent affairs. He had wit and a sense of 'humor to match Marg arets. ... . . v Margaret was not in the lime light in those years. It was her sister, Elizabeth, who was in volved in a romance with the handsome Phillip, now Duke of Edinburgh. There are many who believe that Margaret was determined to find herself a man as bold and dashing as the husband that Eliz abeth took. . And Townsend, al though a commoner, measured up very well. ?. There are few who doubt they were in - love when Townsend was suddenly "exiled" to Brus sels as air attache shortly after Elizabeth's .coronation. But the strong-willed Margar et decided he was a man worth waiting for.. Basic Beauty : T "l2o . 24'-32 V inj iirawiir&i3v Basic fashion for a winter sep arates wardrobe!
