	Henry Tizard Summary
		Sir Henry Thomas Tizard was born on August 23, 1885, in Gillingham, Kent, to Captain Thomas Henry and Mary Elizabeth (Churchward) Tizard.
		Tizard enrolled there in 1908 to work toward a Ph.D. Although he stayed in Berlin only a year, Tizard had two experiences there that were to prove significant for Britain: he noted the powerful changes chemistry was bringing to Germany's technological (and therefore military) status, and he met Frederick Lindemann.
		Tizard became chair of a committee (the Tizard Committee) to investigate the possibilities, one of which was the reflection of radio waves off the atmosphere.

	D.A. Tizard - Legend (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Derek Tizard, or Henry, as he was and still is universally known, joined Triangle in 1962 and played for the club until the end of 1974 when he left the Island to live at Wyke Regis and subsequently play for Wellworthy.
		Henry was much like a greyhound between the wickets and, whilst "Dickie" was not as fast, their judgment and calling of quick singles seemed intuitive and the opposing fielders, particularly in the Evening League, often seemed rattled by these tactics.
		Henry turned his arm over occasionally, bowling either slow, medium or off-spin and although not proving excessively expensive, it was sometimes noticeable that the batsmen seemed not unhappy when he came on.

		Sir Henry Thomas Tizard (1885 – 1959) was a British chemist and inventor.
		Tizard's ambition to join the navy was thwarted by poor eyesight and he instead studied at Westminster School and Magdalen College, Oxford where he concentrated on mathematics and chemistry, doing work on indicators and the motions of ions in gases in 1911.
		In 1933 Tizard was appointed as chairman of the Aeronautical Research Committee and served in this post for most of the Second World War.

		Sir Henry Thomas Tizard (1885-1959), a scientist and administrator, was born at Gillingham, Kent, 23 August 1885, the only son amongst the five children of Thomas Henry Tizard.
		Tizard was particularly valuable with his ability to devise ingenious tests and his intellect in analysing the results.
		Tizard also took with him, in his famous fl box, the prints of Britain’s war devices such as radar and a specimen of a resonant cavity magnetron, which gave the American work on radar a new stimulus.

		Tizard had arranged with Vannevar Bush, who was the chairman of National Defense Research Committee a series of meetings with each division of the NDRC.
		The Tizard mission caused the foundation of the MIT Radiation Lab, which became one of the largest wartime projects, employing nearly 4000 people at its peak.
		Although the Tizard mission was hailed as a success, especially in radar, it is possibly significant that on his return to London on the 8 October, 1940, Tizard found that his job no longer existed.

		Informally, and far more commonly, the venture was known as the Tizard Mission, after its organizer Sir Henry Tizard, rector of the Imperial College of Science and Technology and chairman of the government's key scientific committee on air defense.
		Tizard and one of the mission's military representatives, Group Captain F. Pearce of the Royal Air Force, had flown across the Atlantic a few days ahead of the main body to pave the way for the exchange.
		Tizard mission members passed time aboard ship in the usual way: reading, listening to BBC broadcasts, playing deck games and bingo, watching films in the ship's cinema, and taking brisk walks in the cold North Atlantic air.

	Invention of the Radar
		This was presented to Henry Tizard, the chairman of the Committee for the Scientific Survey of Air Defence.
		Tizard was impressed with the idea and on 26th February 1935, Watson-Watt demonstrated his ideas at Daventry.
		This type of tube is capable of generating high-frequency radio pulses with large amounts of power, thus permitting the development of microwave radar, which operates in the very short wavelength band of less than 1cm, using lasers.

		Using arguments by Sir Henry Tizard, a senior scientific adviser, the committee, a forerunner of the modern atomic energy authority, called for a rapid escalation.
		Sir Henry Tizard's figures were predicated on "a war beginning during the period 1957-62", and his calculation of 1,000 bombs to destroy an enemy presumably referred to the Soviet Union, although no foreign power was mentioned.
		Either Sir Henry Tizard or another civil servant had written a short note by hand pointing out that 1,000 warheads would not require a bomb each day, merely for production to be doubled every year from 1952.

		Germany was already well on the way to occupying a large part of Europe and Sir Henry Tizard realized that it would not be long before Britain's productive capacity could not match that of Germany and the countries then in her possession.
		Another vital contact made by Tizard was with the National Defense Research Council which had recently been formed under the Chairmanship of Dr. Vannevar Bush, assisted by Karl Compton, the President of MIT and Dr.Conant, the president of Harvard.
		When the Tizard Mission arrived in Washington, this system had been fully operational for over a year, and at that very moment was playing a decisive role in the Battle of Britain, from which England was already emerging as a certain winner.

		He also describes Tizard?s early years, personality, and colleagues, and his participation in the formation of the MAUD Committee, which initiated research on the atomic bomb in England.

		This said that if it was concentrated entirely on German working class houses, and 'military objectives' as such were forgotten, it would be possible to destroy fifty per cent of all the houses in the larger towns of Germany quite soon.
		The paper was strongly opposed by the scientists, headed by Sir Henry Tizard and Professor Blackett.
		Tizard calculated that Lindemann's estimate was five times too high, and Blackett that it was six times too high.

		Tizard is best known for his pioneering work on the development of radar technology prior to the Second World War and his various wa-time posts included Scientific Adviser to the Air Staff.
		Although largely outside the scope of this article, it is perhaps interesting to note that although Sir Henry Tizard and Lord Cherwell had once been friends, a series of disagreements over various policy issues had ended their friendship and turned them into great rivals.
		We do not say that this had any direct bearing on the subsequent handling of the UFO issue, but their differing opinions on the subject should perhaps at least be viewed in the context of their rivalry.

		In January 1935 a committee of four met under the chairmanship of Sir Henry Tizard, Rector of Imperial College London, to examine the problem of the defence of Britain from air attack.
		Tizard, a chemist by background, would have been the first to admit he was not a great scientist but he was an exceptionally able administrator.
		The case appears to be that while Tizard and the rest were ready to put most of their resources into radar, Lindemann saw just as important research into aerial mines and infra-red detection.

	The Harvard Crimson :: News :: Snow Gives First Godkin Lecture
		Here Snow adopted the role of storyteller and began to describe the two characters in his cast: Sir Henry Tizard, "the best scientific mind in our time that has ever applied itself to war," and F. Lindemenn, Lord Cherwell, who was Winston Ohurchill's "grey eminence" in scientific matters during the thirties and into the war.
		Snow characterized Tizard as "a patriot in the way of an English naval officer," an amiable, brilliant man "with the face of an intelligent and sensitive frog." "About Lindemann," however, "hung an atmosphere of indefinable malaise." He had, Snow said, the inflated passions of a character in Balsao's novels.
		Tizard went into the civil service, in 1934 was made head of the committee to propose measures for England's defense and thus became engaged in the "closed politics" of the scientific bureaucracy.

	Offensive
		Sir Henry Tizard saw the figures presented by Cherwell as five times too optimistic, and contended that the area bombing scheme could not work unless it was on a scale vastly beyond the industrial capacity of Great Britain.
		Tizard argued for the curtailment of strategic bombing and favored stepped-up attacks on U-boat facilities and the factories that produced these vessels in their home ports, a sort of maritime strategic bombing campaign.
		In the opinion of Tizard, Great Britain's overall investment of manpower and resources in the aerial assault surpassed the amount of damage inflicted on the enemy.
