Bostock, William Dowling (1892-1968)

Bostock was chief of staff of the Allied air forces in the Southwest Pacific under Brett. The command arrangements proved cumbersome and  Kenney tried to improve matters by having Bostock assigned as commander of a newly-created RAAF Command, with operational control of air forces operating in Australia (except Queensland) and the Netherlands East Indies. This arrangement was little better and was marked by poor relations and Bostock and the chief of the Air Staff, Sir George Jones. However, it remained unchanged throughout the war.

Bostock was regarded as a highly intelligent officer, and Kenney said of him that he "looked gruff and tough . . . but he impressed me as being honest and I believed that, if he would work for me at all, he would be loyal to me." Postwar he became a special aviation correspondent to the Melbourne Herald, writing several articles scathing in their criticism of the wartime command arrangement. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1949 and served nine years.
