He is best known for his editing of his father's works (Some were released as stand alone books, but the History of Middle Earth series has a lot of his commentary about his father's writings).
If you read the book "Letters of JRR Tolkien", you know that his father sent copies of the on going writing to him when he was in South Africa learning to fly a plan for the Royal Air Force during WWII...
