Air Vice-Marshal Edgar James Kingston-McCloughry, CB, CBE, DSO, DFC & Bar (10 September 1896 – 15 November 1972), born Edgar James McCloughry, was an Australian fighter pilot and flying ace of the First World War, and a senior commander in the Royal Air Force during the Second World War.
He shot down 21 aircraft and military balloons during the former war, making him the 6th highest-scoring Australian ace.
McCloughry joined the Australian Imperial Force in 1914, and served as a military engineer in Egypt and France before transferring to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) in December 1916.
McCloughry left the AFC in August 1919 and pursued a career as an engineer in the United Kingdom before joining the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1922.
In 1940, under the influence of Lord Beaverbrook, he circulated a series of anonymous memos which were highly critical of senior RAF figures; in response, he was posted to South Africa, but the fallout continued and by the end of the year the Chief of the Air Staff and several other commanders had been replaced.
