Hugh Trenchard as commander of the Royal Flying Corps in France : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hugh Trenchard as commander of the Royal Flying Corps in France
Hugh Trenchard was the commander of the Royal Flying Corps in France from 25 August 1915 until 2 January 1918. ==Appointment and style of command== In the summer of 1915, General Sir David Henderson decided that, despite his personal preferences, a general officer with technical knowledge and recent war experience was required at the War Office to argue for the resources needed by the RFC. Being the only suitable candidate, Henderson arranged for his return to Great Britain and recommended that he be succeeded by Trenchard. Kitchener immediately approved the recommendation〔Boyle 1962:pp. 140–141〕 and on 25 August 1915, Trenchard was promoted to brigadier-general and appointed Officer Commanding the RFC in the Field.〔Wykeham 1971:p. 470〕 As the Flying Corps' field commander, Trenchard was far more personally involved in the detail of his wing commanders' and squadrons commanders' tasks than Henderson had been. Trenchard instigated tighter controls on the Flying Corps' tactical training programme, dealt with the unending challenge of providing for material shortages and required his airmen to adopt a more aggressive posture. During this time Trenchard was greatly helped by his aide-de-camp, Maurice Baring.〔Boyle 1962:pp. 142–147〕
