The first Secretary of State for the Royal Air Force (RAF) and President of the Air Council was Lord Trenchard, who held the position from its establishment in 1918 until 1929. He played a crucial role in shaping the RAF as an independent service and was a key figure in advocating for air power during a time when aviation was still developing. His leadership helped establish the RAF's identity and operational capabilities in the early years of its existence.
