Charles Portal, 1st Viscount Portal of Hungerford (May 21, 1893 - April 22, 1971) was a British Marshal of the Royal Air Force and Chief of the Air Staff during World War II and an advocate of strategic bombing.
In October 1940, Portal was appointed as Chief of the Air Staff with the rank of Air Chief Marshal and became involved with the controversy over the Big Wing that resulted in Hugh Dowding's removal as the head of Fighter Command.
In 1945, after the war's end, Portal retired from the RAF and in August was created Baron Portal of Hungerford, of Hungerford in the County of Berks, and a year later Viscount Portal of Hungerford, with the same territorial designation.
