Eaker successfully advocated for precision daylight bombing of industrial and military targets in Germany in conjunction with Royal Air Force night raiding. Elwood - Pete' Quesada (1904-1993), U.S. Air Force Lieutenant General. Quesada perfected methods of obtaining real-time information for combined air-ground missions, including the use of pilot air controllers in tanks and the use of early warning radar.
