Viscount Portal of Hungerford signed RAF Benson flown cover. Marshal of the Royal Air Force Charles Frederick Algernon Portal, 1st Viscount Portal of Hungerford, KG, GCB, OM, DSO & Bar, MC, DL (21 May 1893 - 22 April 1971) was a senior Royal Air Force officer. He served as a bomber pilot in the First World War and rose to become first a flight commander and then a squadron commander, flying light bombers on the Western Front. In the early stages of the Second World War he was commander-in-chief of Bomber Command. He was an advocate of strategic area bombing against German industrial areas and viewed it as a war winning strategy. In October 1940 he was made Chief of the Air Staff and remained in this post for the rest of the war. Good condition.
