Subject: согласование времен

Добрый вечер всем!
Проверьте, ПОЖАЛУЙСТА, согласование времен в тексте. Задание было поставить глаголы из скобок в нужное время. Текст -биография писателя, ныне еще живущего. Некоторые скобки я так и не смогла раскрыть.

... He HAS WRITTEN for years but he WAS? also a photographer, waiter...
...He WORKED? part-time as a waiter in order to make money. While he WAS BEING? a waiter, he BECAME? deeply interest in cookery and PRODUCED? a regular comic strip on the subject for The Observer newspaper. ?(FOLLOW)? on from this, he WORKED in New York and RETURNED to England...
In 1962 his first book WAS PUBLISHED. Since then he HAS WRITTEN over 25 books.
-А вот дальше я вообще не поняла смысл-: Not only (WRITE?) his famous spy novels but he also HAS WRITTEN? a history of the Royal Air Force.

Заранее большое спасибо всем!

He has been writing..., but he had been also...

Following on from this....

Not only did he write his famous spy novels but he also wrote a history of the royal air force.

Спасибо огромное!
Убедительная просьба- последнее предложение из этого текста.
Я не понимаю первую часть предложения, особенно смущает отсутствие там подлежащего: Not only (WRITE?) his famous spy novels but he also HAS WRITTEN? a history of the Royal Air Force.
ПОМОГИТЕ, пожалуйста!!!

Да, спасибо. Но меня смущает, что в первой части исходного предложения нет подлежащего. Может, там вместо WRITE должен быть Герундий или Причастие?
ИМХО:
Not only WRITING/HAVING WRITTEN his famous spy novels but he also HAS WRITTEN? a history of the Royal Air Force. -Создавая/Написав не только свои знаменитые шпионские новеллы, он также написал историю Королевских Военно-Воздушных сил?

"Not only did HE write..."

"в первой части исходного предложения нет подлежащего"

А что тогда такое "he"?)

исходное было Not only (WRITE?) his famous spy novels but he also HAS WRITTEN? a history of the Royal Air Force. - he здесь встречается только 1 раз вво второй части предложения.

а Not only did HE write добавила lisulya.
Я запуталась. :-(

"he BECAME? deeply interest in cookery"
заметили, что не interestED, а interest? подозревать стоит авторов упражнения.

For emphasis not only can be moved to the beginning of a clause. Note that we use the inverted word order 'not only + auxiliary verb + subject'. But can be left out in some cases.

* She was not only sad, but also angry.
* Not only was she sad, she was also angry.
* They not only need food, but also shelter.
* Not only do they need food, they also need shelter.

Для усиления перед глаголом в основной форме ставится вспомогательный глагол в соответствующем времени.

Она пишет не только прозу, но и сочиняет музыку.
Not only DOES she write prose, but she also composes music. (Наст. вр.)
Not only DID she write prose, but she also composed music. (Прош. вр с усилением).
She wrote not only prose, but also composed music. (Прош. вр. без усиления)

Спасибо за Ваши примеры. Опираясь на них, рискну свое предложение написать так:
Not only WROTE his famous spy novels but he also WROTE a history of the Royal Air Force.

то есть (возвращаясь к началу ветки) весь абзац может выглядеть так:
In 1962 his first book WAS PUBLISHED. Since then he HAS WRITTEN over 25 books. Not only WROTE his famous spy novels but he also WROTE a history of the Royal Air Force. Правильно?

"Not only WROTE his famous spy novels..."
Так не бывает, извините, конечно.
Вам как минимум пятеро переводчиков написали один и тот же верный вариант, а вы лепите свой неверный.

Должно быть, как уже много раз написали, "Not only did he write..."
