Lieutenant General Sir David Henderson KCB, KCVO, DSO, LLD (11 August 1862 – 17 August 1921) was the senior leader of British military aviation during World War I, having previously established himself as the leading authority on tactical intelligence in the British Army. He served as the commander of the Royal Flying Corps in the field during the first year of World War I and was instrumental in establishing the Royal Air Force as an independent service. After the war Henderson was the first Director-General of the League of Red Cross Societies. ==Early and family life== David Henderson was born in Glasgow on 11 August 1862 into a ship-owning family. His father, also called David Henderson, was a joint owner of the Clydeside ship builders David and William Henderson and Company. Henderson entered the University of Glasgow in 1877 at the age of just fifteen. While there, he read engineering and in his fourth year (1880–1881) he studied civil engineering and mechanics as well as office and field work in engineering. For reasons now unknown, he left the university to train for a military career at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, instead of graduating from Glasgow.〔 In 1895, Henderson married Henrietta Caroline Dundas, later known as Dame Henrietta Henderson after being appointed as a Dame of Grace of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem (D.G.St.J.) and in 1919 was further appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE), the equivalent of a knighthood for a man. The couple had three children including Ian Henry David Henderson, who also joined the Royal Flying Corps,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ian Henry David Henderson )〕 but Ian Henderson predeceased his parents, dying in a flying accident in June 1918.〔Prins, ''Aeroplane'' May 2012, p. 38.〕 Dame Henrietta Henderson lived until 14 April 1959.
