摘要

In the epic film "Lawrence of Arabia," the title character, having left his desert war and gone back to England, is killed in a motorcycle accident. The implication is that T. E. Lawrence died young, soon after the Arab Revolt ended in 1918. Contrary to the Hollywood tale, the real Thomas Edward Lawrence lived for 17 more years, until 1935. Moreover, the legendary figure known as Lawrence of Arabia passed most of those years as an enlisted man in the Royal Air Force, under assumed names. The world-famous Colonel Lawrence, sick of celebrity, joined the RAF in 1922 under the alias John Hume Ross (A/C2 No. 352087) and again in 1925 as T. E. Shaw (A/C2 No. 338171). There he stayed until the final weeks of his life. Most of Lawrence's biographers give limited attention to this period and focus on the earlier exploits of the young, glamorous, Oxford-educated officer as he led Bedouin tribesmen against the Ottoman Empire in 1916-1918. Yet Lawrence's life after Arabia is remarkable, too. One of recent history's most charismatic figures, laboring in anonymity, made important contributions to Britain's airpower and did so from the lowly enlisted ranks.

E. Shaw(A / C2 No. 338171)的身份加入。他呆在那里直到生命的最后几个星期。劳伦斯的大多数传记作者对此时期的关注都很少,只专注于年轻,富有魅力,受牛津大学教育的军官的早期功绩,他在1916-1918年领导贝都因人部落对抗奥斯曼帝国。但是劳伦斯在阿拉伯之后的生活也很出色。一位不愿透露姓名的工作是近代史上最具魅力的人物之一,对英国的空中力量做出了重要贡献。
