The early history of British aerial defence development is one of
misdirection and delusion. The misdirection, judging by the
criteria of successful aerial defence in World War II, was
primarily in the downgrading of home defence measures including the
fighter plane. The delusion, again judging by Britain’s efforts
in that second world war, was primarily in the assumption of the
effects to be obtained by strategic bombing. In both cases, the
First World War was a major catalyst. Although events and writings
before that war indicate the coming patterns, it was during that
war that a great amount of the patterns are well established.
Originally published in 1976, this work explores these origins and
stresses the interaction between various diverse segments of
English society in the formation of the major patterns. The working
out of these patterns in the first half of the interwar years is
also analysed, again with respect to diverse groupings in Britain.
