When war was declared Donaldson was commanding No 151(F) Squadron flying Hurricanes and in their first engagement destroyed six enemy aircraft, shooting down many more in the following months. After the war he was selected to command the Air Speed Flight; ‘Teddy’ eventually snatched the title, setting a new speed record and breaking the 1000 kmph barrier
