 Revealed: how two Scots war doctors invented plastic surgery - [Sunday Herald]
McIndoe, appointed the RAF’s consultant in plastic surgery, was based at a burns unit in East Grinstead, Sussex, where his work was so cutting-edge that his patients were nicknamed the “Guinea Pigs”.
McIndoe had to employ radical and sometimes bizarre methods to ensure his skin grafts were successful.
As the morale of the young pilots, many in their teens, was badly affected by their injuries, the surgeon ensured that patients had crates of beer under their beds and were allowed to wear uniforms instead of hospital clothes.

Reconstructive surgery was in its infancy, but McIndoe's willingness to experiment - and to defy established medical practice - enabled him to develop many of today's techniques.
