He played a significant role in building the World War II Anglo-American air power partnership as an air planner on the Royal Air Force Staff, the British Chiefs of Staff, and the Combined Chiefs of Staff. He coordinated allied strategy in 1940-41, helped create an Anglo-American bomber alliance in 1942, and drafted the compromise at the Casablanca Conference that broke a deadlock in Anglo-American strategic debate. 606 $aAeronautics, Military 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$xAerial operations 606 $aAeronautics, Military$zGreat Britain 615 0$aAeronautics, Military. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918$xAerial operations. 615 0$aAeronautics, Military 676 $a358.4/03 686 $a355.469$2z 702 $aSlessor$b John$f1897-1979, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827501203321 996 $aAir power and armies$93917309 997 $aUNINA
