"Perhaps it was not by chance that post war, Duncan Sandys became so obsessed with an All Missile Air Force, resulting in his report and massive cut-backs in aircraft development from - and reduction of the RAF - from 1958 onwards."

Perhaps it was not by chance that during the war, Duncan Sandys got his job because he had married Churchill's daughter, Diana?
He was also famous for saying the missile menace for London was over and I think the very next day the first V-2 fell on Chiswick!
How is it so many dumb politicians manage to get such top jobs??????
