Yes, people forget too quickly that Great War air services really existed
for the purposes of supporting the armies on the ground. Also, per
Ludendorff's order in the Spring 1918, an O.C. can issue any order
he chooses, but that does not ensure it will be carried-out by the
people doing the fighting. As always, your examples are illuminating
and fill-in all the gaps left by all the other discussions.

For a "generalist," you evidence a wealth of specific factual knowledge
at a variety of levels of abstraction and generality. As was true for
your Forum contributions earlier, your present analysis is
impressively considered and informed. You discern the
factors and forces underlying German strategy and tactics
and then use this understanding and data to impart some
clarity concerning why such choices were made. As before,
nicely done!
