Early lifeBertine Sutton was born in Kensington, the son of the Reverend Alfred Sutton and his wife Bertha Frances Entwisle, and grandson of James Sutton of Shardlow. He was educated at Eton and University College, Oxford from where he gained his Bachelor of Arts in 1908.[1] After graduation, Sutton worked in a solicitor's office in London until he was employed by Hutchinson the publishing company.[1] Sutton had aimed to become a lawyer but the outbreak of the First World War resulted in him entering the Army.

In 1917, Sutton first served as a pilot and then flight commander on No. 9 Squadron flying RE8s on the Western Front.[2] In October 1917, Sutton was promoted (temporarily) to the rank of major and appointed Officer Commanding No. 7 Squadron, a position he held for the remained of the War.[2] Sutton was transferred to the Royal Air Force on its establishment and subsequently relinquished his commission in Westmorland and Cumberland Territorial Force.[2] RAF service during the inter-war yearsIn 1921 Sutton attended the British Army's Staff College at Camberley and he subsequently served on the directing staff of the newly established RAF Staff College, Andover for the next four years.[2] After attending a refresher flying course at the Central Flying School, Sutton was appointed the Officer Commanding, No. 1 (Apprentices) Wing at No. 1 School of Technical Training in the summer of 1926.[2] From late 1929 to 1932, Sutton served on the directing staff of the Imperial Defence College.[2] 1932 saw Sutton posted to India as the Officer Commanding No. 1 (Indian) Group.[2] In late 1934 Sutton took up the appointment of senior air staff office at the headquarters of RAF India.[2] With the pre-Second World War build up of the RAF, Sutton was recalled to Great Britain and served as Air Officer Commanding (AOC) No. 2 (Bomber) Group, the AOC No. 22 Group and then the AOC No. 21 (Training) Group.[2] Second World WarAt the start of the Second World War, Sutton was AOC No. 21 (Training) Group. In November 1940, Sutton continued in his training role when he was appointed AOC No. 24 (Training) Group.[2] The next year Sutton returned to staff college work, this time as the Commandant of the RAF Staff College at Bulstrode Park.[2] In the summer of 1942 Sutton was appointed to the Air Council as the Air Member for Personnel (AMP).[2] During his time as AMP, Sutton was required to deal with various manning problems, including the British Army's requirement for more personnel in anticipation of D-day and the Battle of Normandy. RetirementSutton retired from the RAF on 7 June 1945, just prior to the end of World War II. Sutton made Little Park Farm at Crookham Common, which is near Newbury in Berkshire, his home and he planned to enjoy his library, pictures, and garden.[1] However, by this time Sutton was not in good health and he died just over a year later on 28 September 1946.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 Oxford Dictionary of National Biography – Sutton, Sir Bertine Entwisle (requires login) {{s-start}}{{s-mil}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Air of Authority – A History of RAF Organisation – Air Marshal Sir Bertine Sutton |-{{s-vac|last=Wilfrid Freeman}}{{s-ttl|title=Air Officer Commanding No. 2 Group|years=1936}}{{s-aft|after=Stanley Goble}} |-{{s-bef|before=Sir Philip Babington}}{{s-ttl|title=Air Member for Personnel|years=1942–1945}}{{s-aft|after=Sir John Slessor}}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Sutton, Bertine Entwisle}} 15 : 1886 births|1946 deaths|Alumni of University College, Oxford|British Army personnel of World War I|British World War I pilots|Companions of the Distinguished Service Order|Companions of the Order of the Bath|Knights Commander of the Order of the British Empire|People educated at Summer Fields School|Recipients of the Croix de guerre (Belgium)|Recipients of the Military Cross|Royal Air Force air marshals of World War II|Royal Air Force personnel of World War I|Royal Flying Corps officers|Westmorland and Cumberland Yeomanry officers |
