Military History Air Force Royal Flying Corps |
Many great deeds of heroism was carried out by men of the Royal Flying Corp including Flight Lt. W H D Acland, While piloting a biplane near Poelcapelle on June 20th 1915, Flight-Lieutenant W. H. D Acland of the Royal First Devon Yeomanry and the Royal Flying Corps was attacked by a large German biplane. At less than two hundred yards distance the British observer replied to the fire of the hostile aeroplane. He, after whom the German biplane was seen to rock; fired fifty rounds and on firing again it dived down, and then flattened its course to continue slowly and erratically to the ground. A bursting shell set alight the British biplane when returning, and the two officers were severely burned. With great courage and presence of mind, however, Lieutenant Acland brought the aeroplane safely to the ground. He was subsequently rewarded with the Military Cross, and the Order of St. George (Fourth Class) was bestowed on him by the Czar of Russia. and also Acting Gunner Corporal NottWhile acting as gunner on escort duty, Corporal C. H. Nott, of No. 15 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps, was hit in the eye and rendered unconscious during an aerial action. On recovering his senses he at once opened fire with his gun, and succeeded in driving off the enemys aeroplane, which had pressed the attack. His machine was riddled with shot and otherwise damaged, but without his magnificent pluck all would have been lost. For his conspicuous gallantry Corporal Nott was awarded the D.C.M. *We have tried our best to identify the aircraft shown on this page. We think we have almost all of them positively identified, but if you do notice an error, please let us know. |
