This he became the Directory of the operations and the intelligence 1920 and they were not up to 1939 that the intelligence was made independent again when the work in operations passed to a new Directory of the plants.  

      The intelligence of the air was interested in allied airplane and enemy, their systems and armament of fuel, and in aerodromes. They also prepared analyses of objectives of the bombing and appreciations of the invasions, a lot of information that it comes from the aerial recognition, and they studied the enemy and allied activity of the air. The study of the operational research was invented by RAF, and this involved the creation of the models (for instance, theoretical or statistical) to discover the solution the most effective to a problem. A lot of intelligence was also won of the war prisoners in the enemy hands, for codified letters or for the interrogation after escapes.
