Editing Henry Tizard (section)

===First World War===
"The secret of science", Tizard once said, "is to ask the right question, and it is the choice of problem more than anything else that marks the man of genius in the scientific world".{{citation needed|date=December 2018}} His chosen problem became aeronautics. At the outbreak of [[World War I]], he was commissioned as a [[second lieutenant]] into the [[Royal Garrison Artillery]] on 17 October 1914, in which his training methods were famously bizarre. He later transferred to the [[Royal Flying Corps]], where he became an experimental equipment officer and learned to fly planes after his eyesight improved. He acted as his own test pilot for making aerodynamic observations. When his superior [[Bertram Hopkinson]] was moved to the Ministry of Munitions, Tizard went with him. When Hopkinson died in 1918, Tizard took over his post. Tizard served in the [[Royal Air Force]] from 1918 to 1919, ending the war at the rank of temporary lieutenant colonel
