Air Vice Marshal Sir Arthur de Terrotte Nevill, KBE, CB (29 April 1899 – 14 March 1985) was a New Zealand military aviator and administrator.

During this period, too, there were so-called strikes when airmen and other servicemen and women throughout New Zealand used "refusing to cooperate with orders" tactics to get demobilised more quickly.

Most of the aircraft employed by the air force were subject to Lend Lease rules and were required to be returned to US control, or destroyed.

He also had to endure the effect of a home government that decided to support Britain (financially) by ordering a small fleet of pre-wartime and wartime designed aircraft, for example 100 Mosquitos, for which no useful service was contemplated.

However he was also responsible for the initiation of a series of orders for aircraft such as the Vampire, Devon, Type 170 Freighter and Hastings C Mk3 that were to see service well into the 1960s, and some beyond that.
