Sir David Henderson was important because he helped Britain figure out how to use aeroplanes in war.

• He was born in 1862 and died in 1921.
• He was a British Army officer.
• Before planes became important, he served as a soldier in conflicts in Africa.
• He became very interested in the new invention of aeroplanes and how the Army could use them.
• He learned to fly himself, despite already being a senior Army officer.
• He helped develop the Royal Flying Corps (RFC), the Army's early air force.
• During World War I, he was one of Britain's most important military aviation leaders.
• Planes were initially used mainly to look down on enemy positions and report what they saw.
• This helped British soldiers know where enemy troops and guns were.
• The RFC later helped lead to the creation of the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1918.

David Henderson helped Britain turn the aeroplane from a new invention into a useful military tool, helping pave the way for the RAF.
