Mary of Teck (May 26, 1867 - March 24, 1953) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Empress of India, as the wife of King George V. During WWI, Queen Mary instituted an austerity drive at the palace, where she rationed food, and visited wounded and dying servicemen in hospital, which she found a great emotional strain. As queen consort from 1910, she supported her husband through the First World War, his ill-health and major political changes arising from the aftermath of the war and the rise of socialism and nationalism. After George's death in 1936, she became queen mother when her eldest son Edward became king, who abdicated later the same year in order to marry the American socialite Wallis Simpson. She supported her second son, Albert, who succeeded to the throne as George VI, until his death in 1952. She died in 1953 at the age of 85. Hugh Montague Trenchard, 1st Viscount Trenchard (February 3,1873 - February 10, 1956) was a British officer who was instrumental in establishing the Royal Air Force. He has been described as the Father of the Royal Air Force. He held several senior positions in the Royal Flying Corps during World War I, serving as the commander of the Royal Flying Corps in France from 1915 to 1917. In 1918, he briefly served as the first Chief of the Air Staff before taking up command of the Independent Air Force in France. Returning as Chief of the Air Staff under Winston Churchill in 1919, Trenchard spent the following decade securing the future of the Royal Air Force. He is recognized today as one of the early advocates of strategic bombing. He died in 1956 at the age of 83.
