Portal of Hungerford The Life of Marshal of the Royal Air Force Viscount Portal of Hungerford KG, GCB, OM, DSO, MC
London: Heinemann, 1978. Small quarto, original cloth, xii, 436 pp., plates. Cloth moderately flecked,internally excellent. Lord Portal of Hungerford was one of the few outstanding leaders in the Second World War to leave no personal accounts of his career or of his share in the events of 1939-45. He was, as one of his nieces described him, 'an intensely private man', with a distaste for personal revelation and publicity; and he was also so busy throughout his life mastering new forms of activity that he had neither time nor the inclination to dwell upon the past.
