School of Land/Air Warfare

The School of Land/Air Warfare was a Royal Air Force school based at Old Sarum in Wiltshire. Its purpose was to encourage greater co-operation between officers in the air and those on the ground.

History

The School was originally established at Old Sarum in 1920 as the School of Army Co-operation to provide training for air officers supporting troops on the ground.[1] This became the School of Air Support in 1945 when its remit was broadened to cover assistance by air in amphibious operations.[2] It was reformed again in May 1947, within No. 11 Group, as the School of Land/Air Warfare.[3] In March 1963 it merged with the Amphibious Warfare School (formerly based at Poole) to form the Joint Warfare Establishment.[3]
