the Battle of Britain. The Battle of Britain is  the World War
II  air campaign waged by the German Air Force against the
United Kingdom during the summer and autumn of 1940. This war event was the
first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces and was also the
largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date. Frost is a
Tornado GR1/4 Navigator/WSO/EW Instructor /Squadron Commander and has
enjoyed a wide  ranging operational, policy and research background
spanning nearly a quarter of a century of collaborative operations with the US
and other key allies. He was the military officer for the UK’s first Cyber
Security Strategy and was the ‘airman’ on the team which put together the UK’s
2010 Strategic Defense and Security Review. Walsh has a distinguished military
career of thirty-one years of service in the United States Air Force and
the Air National Guard where he has commanded at the squadron, group and wing
levels. He served as the 175th Wing Commander, Maryland Air National Guard from
2002 thru 2009. In 2009-2010, Brigadier General Walsh commanded the 451st Air
Expeditionary Wing in Kandahar, Afghanistan, becoming the first Air National
Guard general officer to command an active duty air expeditionary wing in
combat. Brigadier General Walsh retired in 2010 having flown more than 4,500
hours in numerous tactical aircraft including the A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-4
Phantom, and C-130J Super Hercules. This free event  takes place at the
