"This failed expedition took place in 1933, 20 years before Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay achieved success. Hugh Ruttledge in 'Attack on Everest' (published 1935) describes in detail how the English team set out to climb with the great expectations. Oxygen was taken but not used because of the incorrect but lingering belief that it was of little benefit to a properly acclimated climber."--Book's Amazon page.
