520 |a "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.
