Everything about Anti-aircraft Command totally explained
Anti-Aircraft Command was a British
command of the
Second World War that controlled the anti-aircraft artillery units of the British Isles.
The formation of a body of anti-aircraft guns had been announced in 1938 but Anti-Aircraft Command wasn't formed until
1 April 1939 under General Sir
Alan Brooke who then passed control to Sir
Frederick Pile another
British Army officer. Pile would remain in command until the end of the war.
It was under the control of
RAF Fighter Command and occupied a headquarters close to
Bentley Priory, home of Fighter Command.
The majority of the guns of AAC were operated by regular
British Army units. Later as the war progressed, these were freed up by the use of men of the
British Home Guard (loading and firing the guns) and women of the
Auxiliary Territorial Service (handling ammunition and operating gun directors).
