Trenchard, Marshal of theRAFSir Hugh, 1stViscount Trenchard (1873–1956)
View through CrossRef
AbstractBritain's most important airpower commander during World War I, Trenchard became first Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) for the Royal Air Force (RAF), a post he held on two occasions. Not an original thinker or theorist in the sense of Gulio Douhet or William “Billy” Mitchell, Trenchard established a sound footing for the RAF and secured the continued independence of Britain's junior service. The caricature of the blusterous, blunt, and inarticulate “Boom” Trenchard (a nickname reflecting the power of his voice) is too readily accepted. Trenchard, whose great gift was his understanding of the political and economic dimensions of senior command, recognized his weaknesses and surrounded himself with able deputies who expressed his policies in more eloquent form.
