FLIGHT Aviatio Air Chief Marshal Sir Philip Joubert de la Ferte, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., now A.O.C. in C. Coastal Command. Aerodrome Defence THE responsibility ior the military defence ofR.A.F. aerodromes was clearly stated by Lord Moyne in the House ol Lords during therecent debate on the battle for Crete. Lord Moyne said : " The Army, from the early stages of the war,was responsible for the very substantial military defences of the vulnerable aerodromes. Therewas now to be added to this an R.A.F. defence force for the local defence of certain particularaerodromes. This would be supplementary to the Army defences, and backed up by the Armyresources in case of need. New aerodromes were being developed so that these resources had all thetime to be stretched and increased. That was why these recruiting appeals had been made. It wouldbe wrong to suggest that these new steps were an admission of past neglect. In all thesemailers we were making steady advance as resources allowed, and the foundation of staticdefence was and would remain primarily the responsibility of the Army."
