Scope and content

Typescript, annotated in MS by SZ, circa 1974 "After First Defence Cttee meeting 5/4/44 or? after second meeting on 14/4/44. Dictated by SZ for Tedder & L.M."

The paper deals with the "important repercussions on the whole use of the Air in preparation for 'OVERLORD' and for the actual assault" if the strategical plan of attacking French and Belgian railway centres were suspended - as was anticipated by the author.
