Extract

The name of Sir Henry Tizard always induces in me feelings of humility: I have succeeded him in an office to which he lent distinction for ten years, but I can never hope to emulate his drive and efficiency, nor compete with his almost legendary chairmanship. I remember that in 1964, soon after I was appointed to the Chair of the Aeronautical Research Council, Dover Publications decided to reprint Goldstein's “Modern Developments in Fluid Dynamics“, and I was invited to contribute a Preface. I got out my set of the earlier edition, to be reminded that the first Preface bore the signature H. T. Tizard: somehow, it seemed almost indecent that I, or anyone, should have to write a new Preface. Such are my feelings about Tizard's name and fame: I daresay many of my generation feel as I do.
