WAR COMMANDERS Air Chief Marshal Sir Edgar hudlow-Hewitt Caricature portrait by Hayden) AIR CHIEF MARSHAL SIR EDGARR AIN E Y LUDLOW - HEWITT, G.C.B., G.B.E., C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C.,was educated at Radley and Sandhurst. In 1905 he was commissioned in theRoyal Irish Rifles, and in August, 1914, was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps.He soon learnt to fly, and, having passed through the C.F.S., wasposted to No. 1 Squadron, then in process of being raised. The ori-ginal No. 1 had been an airship unit, and had been taken over by theAdmiralty. Major Geoffrey Salmond led the new squadron oversea. In France and Belgium youngLudlow-Hewitt soon distinguished himself, being mentioned indespatches six times, awarded the Military Cross, and in January,1918, being made a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order. Healso received a French decoration. In 1926 Ludlow-Hewitt becamethe second Commandant of the R.A.F. College at Andover. In1930 he was sent to Iraq as A.O.C. Iraq (then a mandated territory)was the first country under British control to be placed in the chargeof the R.A.F. The motto of the Service there was "Control with-out Occupation." All units of other Services were under the orders ofthe A.O.C., who was responsible for external and internal security. Thesystem proved a great success, and much credit is due to the early AirOfficers who got it into working order. Other important appointments inthe R.A.F. followed, and at the out- break of the second world warLudlow-Hewitt was A.O.C.-in-C, Bomber Command. At first thisCommand had very slender re- sources, and in the early months ofthe war its chief activity was strew- ing propaganda leaflets over Ger-many, and incidentally learning the way to important centres which wereafterwards bombed. Ludlow-Hewitt held this post until he was succeeded by"Bomber Harris." In the New Year Honours List of 1946Sir Edgar was promoted to Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath.
