CBE (30 June 1901 – 7 May 1975) was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force
during the middle of the 20th century.
Waite joined the RAF in 1920, receiving his initial instruction as a flight cadet at the
RAF College Cranwell
in Lincolnshire.
In 1948, while Waite was Head of Disbandment at the headquarters of the
Allied Control Commission, he suggested that the Berlin Blockade
could be broken by an airlift. Subsequently, the British and Americans started a joint operation to circumvent the Russian blockade of all overland routes.
