William Ernest Bowman Biography
William Ernest Bowman

William Ernest Bowman (30 September 1911 in Scarborough – 1 January 1985), was an engineer and writer, best remembered for his 1956 book The Ascent of Rum Doodle, a satire on the world of mountaineering literature inspired by Bill Tilman and his 1937 account of the Nanda Devi expedition. Bowman's work was a send-up of the rather pompous British expedition book style fashionable in the 1930s through to the 1950s.
