I think it would be more accurate to say that Monty had the luxury of playing the Desert War with a good hand. He was greatly helped by the head of the Desert Air Force. Those two worked so well together in prosecuting war that it formed the basis of combined ops that has been universally adopted. Slim was an excellent General, and never seemed to have achieved the acclaim of the public he and the 14th Army were entitled to.
