Product Description
Synopsis
This book presents a biography of Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, the highest ranking officer in the RAF to be killed in World War II. During the Battle of Britain he commanded one of the two main fighter groups and was involved in the controversy about the use of the "big wing" tactic. He later rose to be commander-in-chief Fighter Command and commanded the Allied air attack on Dieppe in 1942. On D-Day he commanded the greatest air armada in history. His boss was Eisenhower, his army opposite number Montgomery. He was killed in a plane crash in November 1944 on his way to the Far East where he was to command the combined British and American Air Forces.
