	First World War.com - Who's Who - Hugh Trenchard
		With war declared Trenchard was placed at the head of the nascent Royal Flying Corps, first at home and then in France in 1915; at that time the RFC was merely a branch of the army.

		Regarded by many as 'the father of the RAF', Hugh Trenchard died on 10 February 1956 in London at the age of 83.

	From Spitfire to Eurofighter - The RAF's Legacy
		Trenchard himself disliked the term 'Father of the Royal Air Force', believing that Lieutenant General Sir David Henderson was more deserving of the epithet.
		Trenchard was also very much at the centre of the development of air power during the First World War and was to remain highly influential beyond his retirement in 1930.
		It is an Air Force that Trenchard would have some difficulty in recognising, but I have no doubt that he would regard the young men and women who fill our ranks with vitality and commitment as every bit the equal of those who graduated from the quite remarkable training institutions he established.
