Overview
\"This is the first biography of Sir Robert Brooke-Popham, a key figure in the early development of airpower. It highlights Brooke-Popham's role in developing the first modern military logistic system, the creation of the Royal Air Force Staff College, and the organizational arrangements that underpinned Fighter Command's success in the Battle of Britain. Peter Dye challenges longstanding views about performance as Commander-in-Chief Far East and, based on new evidence, offers a more nuanced narrative that sheds light on British and Allied preparations for the Pacific War, inter-service relations and the reasons for the disastrous loss of air and naval superiority that followed the Japanese attack\"-- Provided by publisher.
