12.One clue as to how Boyle felt comes from an exchange with Powell on the subject of compensation for those likely to be affected by force reductions. Powell had written to his civil service colleagues to say that Head had planned âthat those who may have to be axed will be generously treatedâ, to which Boyle replied âI would have thought that if you do your business properly the number of personnel that suffer will be negligibleâ; Richard Powell to E. W. Playfair: 11 January, 1957 and Dermot Boyle to Powell: 16 January, 1957 in AIR 8/2157; however, unlike Slessor, who was completely devoted to strategic bombing, Boyle had more ambiguous allegiances to, and conceptions of, air power. Whilst he had spent much of the Second World War in heavy bombing roles, prior to becoming Chief of the Air Staff he had been Commander-in-Chief of Fighter Command. Where the bombing aircraft upon which the British nuclear deterrent depended might have been expected to survive any post-Suez review of defence policy, any measure of colonial retreat that it might have advocated would have put British fighter strength at risk; DEFE 4/94, C.O.S. (57) 1st Meeting: 1 January, 1957.
