I am going to debate #2 with you.
Dowding was in charge of FIGHTER COMMAND only!
Harris waas in charge of BOMBER COMMAND.
Both where major commands within the RAF of course but neither man was in charge of the whole RAF as far as I know. Sorry can't think of the name of their superior.
In fact Dowding was sacked shortly after the end of the Battle of Britian. He retired halfway through the war after a stint in the states purchasing and evaluating lend-lease material for the Brits.
