A propos de cet article

124 pages. Diagrams (three in color, two fold-outs, one two facing pages). Endpaper maps. Cover has some wear and soiling. Front board somewhat bowed. Pencil erasure residue on fep. This book comprises four lectures on "Air Power in War" which were delivered Field Marshal of the Royal Air Force The Lord Tedder as the Lees Knowles Lectures, at Cambridge University in 1947.

He was a pilot and squadron commander in the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War and he went on to serve as a senior officer during the inter-war years. During the Second World War, Tedder directed air operations in the Mediterranean and North Africa, including Operation Crusader in North Africa. His bombing tactics became known as the "Tedder Carpet". Later Tedder was closely involved in the planning of the Allied invasion of Sicily and then the Allied invasion of Italy. When Operation Overlord came to be planned, Tedder was appointed Deputy Supreme Commander at Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force under General Eisenhower. After the war he served as Chief of the Air Staff, in which role he advocated increased recruiting, doubled the size of RAF Fighter Command and implemented arrangements for the Berlin Airlift.
