Career
Wright served as Dowding"s personal assistant during the Battle. In his book Dowding and the Battle of Britain (1969) Wright was one of the early proponents of the Big Wing conspiracy theory that blamed Trafford Leigh-Mallory and the British Air Ministry for Dowding"s removal from command at the end of the battle. Many of Wright"s claims, some based on Dowding"s faulty recollections, have been repudiated by witnesses and documentary evidence, but his allegations have proven popular and persistent over the years.
