EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished visage of General Sir David Henderson, a pivotal figure in the early history of the British military and the emergence of the Royal Air Force as an independent service. Born in 1862, Henderson rose through the ranks of the British Army, earning a reputation as a leading authority on tactical intelligence. His expertise in this area would serve him well during World War I, where he played a crucial role in the development and implementation of aerial reconnaissance and strategic bombing. In 1912, Henderson was instrumental in advocating for the establishment of the Royal Flying Corps, which would later become the Royal Air Force in 1918. His visionary leadership and innovative thinking helped shape the future of aerial warfare and solidify the RAF's place as a vital component of the British military. This photograph serves as a testament to Henderson's remarkable career and his enduring impact on military history. As a Lieutenant General, Henderson's contributions extended beyond the battlefield, shaping the way wars would be fought in the skies above. This image, taken in the early 20th century, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who helped redefine the boundaries of military strategy and tactical intelligence.
