Sir Arthur T. Harris, Bt GCB, OBE, AFC, LLD.

Air Marshal Sir Arthur Travers Harris Bt GCB, OBE, AFC, LLD (April 13, 1892 - April 5, 1984), commonly known as "Bomber" Harris, was commander of RAF Bomber Command during the latter half of World War II. In 1942 the Cabinet agreed to the aerial bombing of Geman cities by carpet bombing. Harris implemented the policy vigrously and encouraged the development of tactics and technology to perform the task more effectively. This remains controversial to this day for the death and destruction it caused among civilians in Germany.
