Air Vice Marshal Charles Humphrey Kingsman Edmonds, CBE, DSO (20 April 1891 – 26 September 1954) was an air officer of the Royal Air Force (RAF).
He first served in the Royal Navy and was a naval aviator during the First World War, taking part in the Cuxhaven Raid in December 1914; and while serving in the Gallipoli Campaign (1915) he was the first man to sink an enemy ship from an aircraft, using a torpedo.
In the interbellum he remained in the RAF, becoming a senior staff officer during World War II.
