Sir Hugh Spencer Lisle Dundas CBE, DSO & Bar, DFC (22 July 1920 – 10 July 1995), nicknamed "Cocky", was a World War II fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force. He was promoted to squadron leader at the age of 21, to wing commander at 22.〔http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/exhibitions/spitfire/413.asp〕 In 1944, Dundas was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and at 24 became one of the youngest group captains in the RAF. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1941, the Distinguished Service Order in 1944 and a bar to the DSO in 1945. ==Early life== Born in Doncaster, on 2 July 1920, Dundas was a scion of a noble family. He was the grandson of the Scottish Liberal politician John Dundas and the great grandson of Lawrence Dundas, 1st Earl of Zetland.〔Bishop 2004, p.76.〕 Dundas was also related to the Earl of Halifax.〔Franks 1980, p. 178.〕〔Franks 1980, p. 178.〕 Like his elder brother John, he became fascinated by the idea of flying from childhood, and he joined the Auxiliary Air Force straight after leaving Stowe School in 1938. On 23 July 1939, the day after his 19th birthday, he was commissioned an acting pilot officer in the AuxAF. He was confirmed in the rank of pilot officer on 2 October, with the service number 91001.
