did General Patton commit treason?

I am writing a term paper about General Patton, my question is when he defied British General Sir Harold Alexander plane for the invasion of Sicily and make he own plane against Alexander’s order. If General Patton’s plane did fail, would it be considered treason? and if it is can someone send me a link to a case that could of been related to this kind of treason.
i am not doughting what your saying, but for what i have read, Alex was in charge, and he defied his plan. so just to clear things up, who was in charge of the whole operation?

He didn’t defy Alexander as much as he defied Montgomery. Monty had a big ego and wanted the glory with the Americans providing only support. Alexander was caught in the middle between these two.
