Default General Officer Commander in Chief Anti-Aircraft Command

Since the blue jobs were out flying their vintage aircraft over Ottawa today, I would like to sit for a chat, tea and scones with General Sir Frederick Alfred Pile (AKA Tim 1884 – 1976).

It would be interesting to find out how he was able to put together his command when the army was less than impressed with air defence (seems it is a tradition) and the air force was convinced it alone "ruled the skies" (seems a tradition).
