It was formed on 1 June 1943 as HQ Tactical Air Force from Army Co-operation Command in connection with preparations then in train to invade Europe a year later. It took units from both Fighter Command and Bomber Command in order to form a force capable of supporting the Army in the field. Bomber Command lent No. 2 Group with light bombers, and Fighter Command was split up into the Air Defence of Great Britain, retaining fighter units for home defence, and No. 83 Group and No. 84 Group operating aircraft, and No 85 Group, controlling a ground based units for the Second Tactical Air Force. In addition, No. 38 Group RAF for towing assault gliders and No. 140 Squadron, providing strategic photo-reconnaissance, were also part of the tactical air force at its inception.
Macklemore explained the subject of the single as follows:
Music video
The music video, directed by Zia Mohajerjasbi, alludes to an autobiographical story line. It depicts its main character (Macklemore) and his experiences as a young boy infatuated with basketball and basketball paraphernalia, athletic shoes in particular, and what adverse effect it had on him as he grew up.
The music video starts with Macklemore now a grown-up man, going into an empty basketball court, where the indications are, that he apparently used to practice basketball himself. Macklemore raps while he reminisces himself as a small kid wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey number 23 (clearly alluding to NBA player Michael Jordan) and wearing, in a close-up, Nike sneakers that would "make him fly" (another reference to Nike Air Jordan sneakers). He describes "touching the net" as being the "best day of my life" (also a simile of a Jordan typical Nike ad), boasting about his skills to his mother and friends... until that is "my friend Carlos' brother got murdered for his fours, whoa", a reference to the basketball shoes he was wearing. This incident becomes a wake-up call to young Macklemore.
A rugby league football team consists of thirteen players on the field, with four substitutes on the bench. Players are divided into two general categories, forwards and backs.
Forwards are generally chosen for their size and strength. They are expected to run with the ball, to attack, and to make tackles. Forwards are required to improve the team's field position thus creating space and time for the backs. Backs are usually smaller and faster, though a big, fast player can be of advantage in the backs. Their roles require speed and ball-playing skills, rather than just strength, to take advantage of the field position gained by the forwards.
Names and numbering
The laws of the game recognise standardised numbering of positions. The starting side normally wear the numbers corresponding to their positions, only changing in the case of substitutions and position shifts during the game. In some competitions, such as Super League, players receive a squad number to use all season, no matter what positions they play in.
A spoiler is an automotive aerodynamic device whose intended design function is to 'spoil' unfavorable air movement across a body of a vehicle in motion, usually described as turbulence or drag. Spoilers on the front of a vehicle are often called air dams. Spoilers are often fitted to race and high-performance sports cars, although they have become common on passenger vehicles as well. Some spoilers are added to cars primarily for styling purposes and have either little aerodynamic benefit or even make the aerodynamics worse.
The term "spoiler" is often mistakenly used interchangeably with "wing". An automotive wing is a device whose intended design is to generate downforce as air passes around it, not simply disrupt existing airflow patterns. As such, rather than decreasing drag, automotive wings actually increase drag.
Operation
Since spoiler is a term describing an application, the operation of a spoiler varies depending on the particular effect it's trying to spoil. Most common spoiler functions include disrupting some type of airflow passing over and around a moving vehicle. A common spoiler diffuses air by increasing amounts of turbulence flowing over the shape, "spoiling" the laminar flow and providing a cushion for the laminar boundary layer. However, other types of airflow may require the spoiler to operate differently and take on vastly different physical characteristics.

Airfield Attack! 'Tactical Air Landing Op' by British military [4K Video]
A 'Tactical Air Landing Operation' (TALO) at RAF Keevil during Exercise Joint Warrior 2018 performed by the Royal Air Force and British Army.
A TALO attack is one in which shock troops are put down on the enemy airfield's runway by aircraft in order to take over the air base. It is an alternative to parachuting troops onto the airfield.
Two C-130J Hercules of 47 Squadron land together on the runway and 3 Para of the Parachute Regiment deplane and take over the airfield after a small-arms fight.
Two C-130Js - of RAF 47 Squadron Brize Norton - approach the airfield from different directions flying at very low-level and jinking to line up on short finals to the enemy airfield. This unpredictable approach will hopefully avoid enemy SAMs and small arms fire.

A TALO attack is one in which shock troops are put down on the enemy airfield's runway by aircraft in order to take over the air base. It is an alternative to parachuting troops onto the airfield.
Two C-130J Hercules of 47 Squadron land together on the runway and 3 Para of the Parachute Regiment deplane and take over the airfield after a small-arms fight.
Two C-130Js - of RAF 47 Squadron Brize Norton - approach the airfield from different directions flying at very low-level and jinking to line up on short finals to the enemy airfield. This unpredictable approach will hopefully avoid enemy SAMs and small arms fire.
Both Hercules land on the runway together and 3 PARA - the British Parachute Regiment - deploy from both aircraft and take up defensive positions protecting the aircraft.
The first Herk, "Albert 11" lands long to deploy the paras at the end of the runway. The second herk, "Albert 21" lands on the numbers to take up position near the touchdown point.
The Herks (callsign "Albert Formation") depart together at low level with the rear aircraft jinking after takeoff to avoid the lead aircraft's wake turbulence. And the Paras go to work securing the airfield.
The RAF Hercules callsign - "Albert" - during Joint Warrior 2018 refers to the US Air Force's nickname for the C-130, 'Fat Albert'.

A 'Tactical Air Landing Operation' (TALO) at RAF Keevil during Exercise Joint Warrior 2018 performed by the Royal Air Force and British Army.
A TALO attack is one in which shock troops are put down on the enemy airfield's runway by aircraft in order to take over the air base. It is an alternative to parachuting troops onto the airfield.
Two C-130J Hercules of 47 Squadron land together on the runway and 3 Para of the Parachute Regiment deplane and take over the airfield after a small-arms fight.
Two C-130Js - of RAF 47 Squadron Brize Norton - approach the airfield from different directions flying at very low-level and jinking to line up on short finals to the enemy airfield. This unpredictable approach will hopefully avoid enemy SAMs and small arms fire.
Both Hercules land on the runway together and 3 PARA - the British Parachute Regiment - deploy from both aircraft and take up defensive positions protecting the aircraft.
The first Herk, "Albert 11" lands long to deploy the paras at the end of the runway. The second herk, "Albert 21" lands on the numbers to take up position near the touchdown point.
The Herks (callsign "Albert Formation") depart together at low level with the rear aircraft jinking after takeoff to avoid the lead aircraft's wake turbulence. And the Paras go to work securing the airfield.
The RAF Hercules callsign - "Albert" - during Joint Warrior 2018 refers to the US Air Force's nickname for the C-130, 'Fat Albert'.
Coverage of operations by aircraft of the Second Tactical Airforce (2nd TAF) and Bomber Command in the Caen area, Normandy in support of Operation Overlord. Mid air shots of RAF Boston aircraft of No 342 Squadron, 2nd TAF. Long shot of flak bursts. Mid air shots of RAF Mitchell medium bombers of the 2nd TAF in formation. Shot of the bomb drop and explosion in forest and hedge rows country. Still photograph marked with an animated ring designating the target. Film of the bombing raid on the target featured in the photograph. 2nd TAF aircraft return to base flying over the English Channel. Daylight raid by RAF Bomber Command Lancaster heavy bombers. Long shot of target which could be German barracks. Coverage of activities at No 174 Squadron RAF equipped with Hawker Typhoon fighter bombers. An airman doing his laundry. Ground crew servicing a Typhoon's engine and armament. Armourers preparing rocket projectiles. Pilot boards his aircraft and starts the engine. Armourers loading rockets projectiles and belts of 20mm cannon shells. Shot of Typhoons parked on airfield and a Typhoon taking off. Douglas C-47 Dakota transport aircraft parked on an airfield (bomb?) explosion in the distance. Long shot of a formation of bombers and flak. Long shot of an aircraft hit and going down in flames. Figther aircraft fly over head of camera. Aircraft flying through flak bursts. Pan of the bomb explosions in the distance. Aerial shots of Boston aircraft of No 342 Squadron 2nd TAF attacking harbour facilities. Aerial shots of Halifax bombers of RAF Bomber Command attacking army barracks. Aerial shot of Lancaster of No 15 Squadron RAF. Lancaster formation flying over the English Channel and shots of the bombing raid. Long shots of formations of Bostons and Lancasters. Scene change to two officers watching the bomber streams. Scene change to aircraft coming down in flames and parachute opening. Long shot of incendaries and bombs exploding.
Pre-Invasion "softening up" raids by the Second Tactical Air Force.
Full description
Bombers taking off, and a simple map, accompany an explanation of the purpose of these raids - the destruction of anti-invasion shore defences, gun sites, coastal batteries, E-boat pens and hideouts, railway centres and industrial targets, mainly in northern France. Aircraft are seen on their way to their targets, and extensive aerial footage covers each raid: Lancasters and Mitchells evade AA fire; aerial film of bombing raids on shore defence weaponry and engine-repair shops; low-flying raids (Mosquitos) on steel works and power stations; night raid on ammunition dumps, etc. Aircraft featured also include Bostons.
It was formed on 1 June 1943 as HQ Tactical Air Force from Army Co-operation Command in connection with preparations then in train to invade Europe a year later. It took units from both Fighter Command and Bomber Command in order to form a force capable of supporting the Army in the field. Bomber Command lent No. 2 Group with light bombers, and Fighter Command was split up into the Air Defence of Great Britain, retaining fighter units for home defence, and No. 83 Group and No. 84 Group operating aircraft, and No 85 Group, controlling a ground based units for the Second Tactical Air Force. In addition, No. 38 Group RAF for towing assault gliders and No. 140 Squadron, providing strategic photo-reconnaissance, were also part of the tactical air force at its inception.

Honte à toi qui la première m'a appris la trahison, Et d'horreur et de colère m'a fait perdre la raison, Et d'horreur et de colère m'a fait perdre la raison. Honte à toi femme à l'oeil sombre, dont les funestes amours, Ont enseveli dans l'ombre mon printemps et mes beaux jours, Ont enseveli dans l'ombre mon printemps et mes beaux jours. C'est ta voix, c'est ton sourire, c'est ton regard corrupteur, Qui m'ont appris à maudire jusqu'au semblant du bonheur, Qui m'ont appris à maudire jusqu'au semblant du bonheur. C'est ta jeunesse, c'est tes charmes qui m'ont fait desespérer, Et si je doute des larmes c'est que je t'ai vu pleurer, Et si je doute des larmes c'est que je t'ai vu pleurer. Honte à toi, j'étais encore, aussi simple qu'un enfant, Comme une fleur à l'aurore mon coeur s'ouvrait en t'aimant, Comme une fleur à l'aurore mon coeur s'ouvrait en t'aimant. Certes ce coeur sans défense, pu sans peine être abusé, Mais lui laisser l'innocence etait encore plus aisé, Mais lui laisser l'innocence etait encore plus aisé. Honte à toi, qui fut la mer de mes premieres douleurs, Et tu fis de ma paupiere jaillir la source des pleurs, Et tu fis de ma paupiere jaillir la source des pleurs. Elle coule sois en sûr et rien ne la tarira, Elle sort d'une blessure qui jamais ne guerira, Elle sort d'une blessure qui jamais ne guerira. Mais dans cette source amere, du moins je me laverais, Et j'y laisserai j'espere ton souvenir aborré, Et j'y laisserai j'espere ton souvenir aborré, Et j'y laisserai j'espere ton souvenir aborré.
