John rose to become First Sea Lord, but his career is inextricably linked with the FAA. In September 1939 he was serving in York in the Western Atlantic and stayed with her at Norway and in the Mediterranean. He left just before she was sunk to take over FAA aircraft design and procurement, involving a lot of time spent in the US. In late 1944 he took command of Pretoria Castle and just before the end of the war moved to the new carrier Ocean. |
