air defence of great britain - Air Defence of Great Britain
air defence of great britain - An organization and command of the Royal Air Force brought into being before the Second Great War to operate, as the title implies, to protect the country against hostile attack from the air. The title was dropped, to be replaced by those of Fighter Command and Bomber Command. The complex and highly efficient system of home defence incorporating fighter groups disposed at key positions, and an elaborate system of communication by means of radio and telephone between all fighter stations, search light stations, the Civil Defence warning system, and headquarters was built up by Air Defence of Great Britain and Fighter Command. It reached unparalleled heights of efficiency throughout the war. Early in 1944 the command reverted to its original title, Air Defence of Great Britain, when its chief was Air Marshal Sir Roderic Maxwell Hill. On this occasion the command was extended to embrace the R.A.F.'s own anti-aircraft artillery, manned by squadrons of the R.A.F. Regiment. At least one of these squadrons was stationed on each aerodrome in the command.
For the second time, however, the Air Forces allocated to the defence of Great Britain had their title changed, in Oct., 1944. A.D.G.B. was dropped and the name of Fighter Command (q.v.) was revived.
