Adolf Galland
Galland returned to action on 22 August 1940, replacing Gotthard Handrick as "Geschwaderkommodore" of JG 26. Major Handrick was an ineffective and indecisive combat commander by some accounts and took a passive role in leading his fighter pilots. Göring grew frustrated with the lack of aggressiveness of several of his fighter-wing commanders, and on 22 August, he replaced Handrick with Adolf Galland.
