In the early 1930s British writer Peter Fleming went on an expedition in the Brazilian interior, seeking clues to the fate of Col Fawcett who had disappeared there in 1925. The expedition was led by irascible and incompetent "Major George Lewy Pingle", who was assisted (according to Fleming) by the knowledgable and helpful Capt John G Holman, British resident of São Paulo.
Fleming suggests that Pingle was a pseudonym and that he was an American claiming a commission in the Peruvian Army.
A web reference has claim by writer Loren McIntyre that Pingle and Holman were one and the same, and that he was Australian.
Does anyone have anything on the identity of Holman and/or Pingle?
