Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory : ウィキペディア英語版
Trafford Leigh-Mallory

Air Chief Marshal Sir Trafford Leigh-Mallory, KCB, DSO & Bar (11 July 1892 – 14 November 1944) was a senior commander in the Royal Air Force. Leigh-Mallory served as a Royal Flying Corps pilot and squadron commander during World War I. Remaining in the newly formed RAF after the war, Leigh-Mallory served in a variety of staff and training appointments throughout the 1920s and 1930s.
During the pre-Second World War build-up, he was Air Officer Commanding (AOC) No. 12 (Fighter) Group and shortly after the end of the Battle of Britain, took over command of No. 11 (Fighter) Group, defending the approach to London. In 1942 he became the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of Fighter Command before being selected in 1943 to be the C-in-C of the Allied Expeditionary Air Force, which made him the air commander for the Allied Invasion of Normandy.
In November 1944, en route to Ceylon to take up the post of Air Commander-in-Chief South East Asia Command, his aircraft crashed in the French Alps and Leigh-Mallory, his wife and eight others were killed.〔(Record of ''Avro York C.1 MW126'' on ''lostaircraft.com'' )〕 He was one of the most senior British officers and the most senior RAF officer to be killed in the Second World War.
==Early life==
Trafford Leigh-Mallory〔The surname Mallory appears in various other spellings, including Malory, Malorie, Maillorie and Maleore. The name comes from the Old French adjective ''maleüré'' (from Latin male ''auguratus'') meaning "ill-omened" or "unfortunate".〕 was born in Mobberley, Cheshire, the son of Herbert Leigh Mallory, (1856–1943), Rector of Mobberly, who legally changed his surname to Leigh-Mallory in 1914.〔Burke's Family Records〕 He was the younger brother of George Mallory, the noted mountaineer.〔(Trafford Leigh-Mallory profile at Oxford Dictionary of National Biography )〕 He was educated at Haileybury and at Magdalene College, Cambridge〔 where he was a member of a literary club and where he made the acquaintance of Arthur Tedder, the future marshal of the Royal Air Force. He passed his Bachelor of Laws degree and had applied to the Inner Temple in London to become a barrister when, in 1914, war broke out.
Trafford married Doris Sawyer in 1915; the couple had two children.〔
