Tussen 1936 en 1940 was hij de opperbevelhebber van Fighter Command, het jageronderdeel van de RAF. Hij moderniseerde het systeem van bevelvoering door het luchtruim te verdelen in operationele sectoren, die werden toebedeeld aan specifieke gevechtsgroepen. Bovendien zette hij een keten van op van radarstations met radiocontrole.
