Sir Frederick Sykes was Chief of the Air Staff of Britain's Royal Air Force during World War I. This study aims to contradict his image as a secretive intriguer tangential to RAF history. It presents him as playing a fundamental part in organizing and leading British aviation from 1912 to the end of 1918. He provided organization, visionary guidance and efficient administrative control for the fledgling service that tried to survive infancy in the heat of battle.
