Born in India into a family of soldiers and diplomats, Slessor made the first aerial attack on a Zeppelin and went on to serve in the Middle East over the Western Front in World War I. Rated an exceptional staff officer, under the influence of Sir Hugh Trenchard, he became a devout proponent of strategic bombing and a strong advocate.
