After a brief sojourn in business, he served in the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service during the First World War. He also rejoined the Royal Air Force in 1939 as a Squadron Leader, being employed at the Air Ministry and in Washington. Travers' first play The Dippers was produced in 1922 by Sir Charles Hawtrey. It was followed by his celebrated series of farces staged at the Aldwych Theatre, and a number of well-received serious plays. Travers also wrote five novels, two autobiographies and a book of cricket reminiscences. In 1970 the BBC produced the farces Rookery Nook, A Cuckoo In The Nest, Turkey Time, A Cup Of Kindness, Plunder, Dirty Work and She Follows Me About for television
