Air Commodore Hippolyte Ferdinand (Frank) De La Rue, CBE, DFC (13 March 1891 – 18 May 1977) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
 Joining the Mercantile Marine as a youth, he became a pilot in Britain's Royal Naval Air Service during World War I.
 In 1918, he was given command of No. 223 Squadron in the newly formed Royal Air Force.
 The following year he took charge of No. 270 Squadron RAF in Egypt.
 Returning to Australia, De La Rue joined the short-lived Australian Air Corps in 1920, and became a founding member of the RAAF in March 1921.
 Specialising in maritime aviation, he led seaplane formations based at Point Cook, Victoria, during the 1920s and early 1930s.
Air Marshal Raymond George (Ray) Funnell, {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} (born 1 March 1935) is a retired senior commander of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).
 He served as Chief of the Air Staff (CAS) from 1987 until 1992.
 A graduate of RAAF College, he began his career flying CAC Sabre jet fighters in Australia and South East Asia in the 1950s and 1960s.
 From 1972 to 1975 he commanded No. 6 Squadron, during which time the General Dynamics F-111C swing-wing bomber entered Australian service.
 He held senior staff posts in the early 1980s.
 In 1986, he was promoted to air marshal and became the inaugural Vice Chief of the Defence Force.
 Appointed CAS in July 1987, Funnell was closely involved in the development and dissemination of air power doctrine.
 He retired from the RAAF in October 1992 following his term as CAS, and was founding Principal of the Australian College of Defence and Strategic Studies from 1994 to 1998.
 Since then he has served on various Federal Government committees on immigration and detention.
The following is a list of Australians who have attained air marshal rank within the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF); that is, service personnel who have held the rank of air chief marshal (four-star rank), air marshal (three-star rank) or air vice marshal (two-star rank).
 The Royal Australian Air Force was established in 1921 as a separate branch of the Australian military forces.
 The service was modelled after the Royal Air Force—formed three years earlier—and adopted the same ranking system.
 Richard Williams, regarded as the "father" of the Royal Australian Air Force, was the service's first member to obtain air-officer rank on being promoted to air commodore (one-star rank) in 1927; he went on to become the first air vice marshal (1935) and air marshal (1940).
 In 1965, Sir Frederick Scherger became the first officer to be advanced to air chief marshal, one of only four members of the Royal Australian Air Force to obtain this rank as of June 2014.
 A further nineteen individuals have reached air marshal in the RAAF and 126 air vice marshal; seven officers have retired with the honorary rank of air vice marshal.

 His commands in the early 1970s included the Aircraft Research and Development Unit, RAAF Base Laverton, and No. 82 Wing, the last-mentioned during its first years operating the long-delayed General Dynamics F-111C swing-wing bomber.
 He was appointed Deputy Chief of the Air Staff in March 1984, and CAS in May the following year.
 His tenure as CAS coincided with the release of the Dibb Report on Australia's defence capabilities, and the controversial transfer of the RAAF's battlefield helicopters to the Australian Army.
 Newham retired from the Air Force in July 1987 and became a company director.
Air Vice Marshal Henry Neilson Wrigley, CBE, DFC, AFC (21 April 1892 – 14 September 1987) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

 During World War I, Wrigley joined the Australian Flying Corps and saw combat with No. 3 Squadron on the Western Front, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross; he later commanded the unit and published a history of its wartime exploits.
 He was awarded the Air Force Cross for his 1919 cross-country flight.

 A member of the Australian Air Corps following the war, he transferred to the fledgling RAAF in 1921, and became the first commanding officer of the newly re-formed No. 3 Squadron at RAAF Station Richmond, New South Wales, in 1925.
Air Marshal Sir John Patrick Joseph McCauley, KBE, CB (18 March 1899 – 3 February 1989) was a senior commander in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

 He was Director of Training from 1936 to 1938, and commanded engineering and flying training schools for the first eighteen months of World War II.
 Having been promoted to group captain in 1940, he was posted to Singapore in June 1941 to take charge of all RAAF units defending the area.

 Jones was a surprise appointee to the Air Force’s top role, and his achievements in the position were coloured by a divisive relationship during World War II with his nominal subordinate, the head of RAAF Command, Air Vice-Marshal William Bostock.

 The following year he was posted to the South West Pacific, where he led successively Nos. 71 and 73 Wings.
 Having been promoted to group captain, he took charge of Southern Area Command in 1944, and No. 81 Wing in the Dutch East Indies the following year.
