It lasted from 1925 , following recommendations that the RAF take control of homeland air defence , until 1936 when it became RAF Fighter Command . History .

The OAZ was abolished and the AFZ expanded . The guns from the OAZ were used for port and base defence and were added to the London defences . However , the changing threat meant that AA defences were needed for many more potential targets in the British Isles , notably industries important for war production . The AA component became 1st AA Division , and in 1937 , 2nd AA Division was formed to defend the Midlands , with AA Command created to replace the previous Army arrangements . In 1937 , light AA guns were added , the RAF ' s view that small - calibre artillery were unsuitable having been finally overturned . In 1940 , searchlights were transferred from the Royal Engineers to the Royal Artillery . Unrotated Projectile ( rocket ) batteries were deployed at the beginning of the war . At its peak in 1941 - 42 , AA Command comprised three AA corps with twelve AA divisions comprising several hundred regiments . GOC - in - C AA Command for most of the war was General Sir Frederick Pile , the equal in rank of his ' superior ' AOC - in - C Fighter Command . ADGB was resurrected as a formal command in 1943 for the rump of Fighter Command dedicated to the defence of the United Kingdom after the formation of the Second Tactical Air Force in 1943 and the still - large AA Command . It was Fighter Command in all but name , and this was finally reflected in 1944 with a return to the previous name . Air Officers Commanding - in - Chief 1925 - 1936 .
