RCAF WWII. Clifford MacKay McEwen (aka 'Black Mike') was born on 2 July 1896 in Griswold, Manitoba and grew up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Air Vice Marshal Clifford Mackay McEwen CB, MC, DFC & Bar (2 July 1896 – 6 August 1967) was a fighter ace in the British Royal Flying Corps during World War I and a senior commander in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. His Second World War service culminated in his commanding No. 6 Group RCAF in England from 28 February 1944 to 13 July 1945. In 1918 McEwen revealed to be a true ‘ace’ in the Italian air war. Within ten months he succeeded to down 27 enemy aircraft. He was awarded therefore the Military Cross, the Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) and the DFC-with-Bar. McEwen was described as 'A brilliant and courageous pilot who has personally destroyed twenty enemy machines. Exhibiting entire disregard of personal danger, he never hesitates to engage the enemy, however superior in numbers, and never fails to inflict serious casualties. His fine fighter spirit and skillful leadership inspired all who served with him.' At the end of the First World War McEwen was promoted to the rank of Captain. | Shores | ![]() ![]() |

224 | Palliser | Arthur John | Lt | Australia | Allies | Pilot | 7 | (1 balloon)(6 kills+1 Lost Control) | 4Sqn | Australian Flying Corps | 1918-11-05 (Aged 28 years) Belgium | Camel, Snipe, 1918. 4 Squadron Australian Flying Corps. A motor mechanic from Launceston, Tas, prior to enlisting in September 1914, 1939 Driver Mechanic Palliser embarked with the 300 Mechanical Transport, AASC, from Melbourne aboard HMAT Ceramic (A40) on 22 December 1914. He was promoted to Sergeant in February 1916 and transferred to the Australian Flying Corps as a cadet in January 1918, where he trained as a pilot. Lt Palliser joined 4 Squadron in August 1918 and was reported missing, later killed in action, whilst on offensive patrol over Belgium, on 4 November 1918. The son of Benjamin and Mary Palliser of Ulverstone, Arthur John Palliser was born in Launceston on the 2nd of March 1890 and became a motor mechanic prior to his enlistment on the 18th of September 1914 with a serial number of 1939. On 22 December 1914 Driver Mechanic Palliser embarked aboard HMAT Ceramic and served with the 300th Mechanical Transport, Army Service Corps (17th Divisional Ammunition Column) 9th Amy Service Corps. He transferred to the Australian Flying Corps as a cadet in January 1918 and commenced pilot training. Upon graduating from the Flying school in July 1918, he joined No 4 Squadron of the Australian Flying Corp in August 1918. His first victory took place on the 16th of September 1918 in the vicinity of Frelinghien in northern France whilst flying a Sopwith Camel Serial Number F1403. In early October 1918, No 4 Squadron was re-equipped with the new and much more manoeuvrable Sopwith Snipe and it was in this aircraft (Serial number E8604) that Palliser achieved the title of an “ace”. In two days, the 28th and 29th October, Palliser shot down two Fokker DVII aircraft on the 28th and followed it up on the next day (the 29th) with three more kills for a total of six aircraft and one balloon. The weather in the first few days of November 1918 was poor limiting the amount of flying the squadron could accomplish. Then on the 4th of November, the weather cleared, and visibility was good and that day was to see one of the last great air battles in the First World War involving Australian pilots. In the afternoon, 16 Sopwith Snipes of No 4 Squadron were escorting a group of bombers when a dozen Fokker aircraft, belonging to the feared Jagdstaffel 2 (Jasta 2) Squadron were spotted and a fierce dogfight soon erupted. Four enemy aircraft were shot down, however No 4 Squadron lost three of their own aircraft, tragically Palliser was one of those pilots who lost their lives that day possibly the victim of German ace Karl Bolle. Lt Palliser is buried in the Anvaing Churchyard at Fransnes – lez – Anvaing, Hainaut, Belgium, where his headstone and cemetery records indicate he died on the 5th of November 1918 just six days prior to the Armistice that ended the war. He was aged 28 years.

On 30 November 1917, Thomson used Camel no. B3514 to destroy an Albatros D.V and capture a Pfalz D.III. On 10 December, he drove down another D.V out of control, using Camel no. B2451. He would not score again until 18 January 1918, when he drove another two-seater down out of control, still using B2451. In February, he would use Camel B9131 to drive down an Albatros two-seater. Then came March. He used four different Camels and reeled off fifteen victories within the month, including four on the 16th, three on the 23rd, and two on the 17th. The three on the 23rd brought his total to 21. His tally included five enemy planes destroyed; he shared one of these triumphs with fellow ace Sydney Smith. He also drove down fifteen enemy planes out of control; one of these victories was also shared with Smith, and another with Horace Debenham. The remaining win was the captured Pfalz. Citatiion MC: Military Cross (MC) T./Capt. George Edwin Thomson, Gen. List and RFC. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On one occasion, when testing his machine, he observed a hostile two-seater machine between himself and the lines. He dived on it and fired sixty rounds at a close range, rendering the observer insensible. He then pulled up under the tail of the enemy machine, fired another thirty rounds, and observed it going down in a slow spin. He has accounted for six enemy machines, and has rendered continuous gallant and valuable service. Citation: DSO Distinguished Service Order (DSO) Lt. (T./Capt.) George Edwin Thomson, MC Gen. List, and RFC. For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. On one occasion, encountering a number of enemy two-seater planes, he dived on one of these and sent it down in flames. On returning to our lines, he dived on to another enemy machine, the observer of which was seen to collapse in his cockpit, the hostile machine going down completely out of control. On the following day, observing a hostile two-seater machine, he dived on it, engaging it at 100 yards range. On the hostile plane going down in a slow spin, he followed it to within 2,500 feet, but was compelled to withdraw owing to heavy machine-gun fire from the ground. He has, in all, accounted for twenty-one enemy machines, and has at all times during recent operations displayed the most marked skill and gallantry. | Shores (Other Sources 14) | ![]() ![]() |

Captain Hazel LeRoy Wallace DFC (13 November 1897 –22 March 1976) was a Canadian First World War flying ace, officially credited with 14 victories. His record shows him to have been a notable team player in squadron tactics. Wallace originally served with 9 Squadron RNAS in 1917 as a Sopwith Camel pilot. He won his first dogfights there, sharing victories on 6 and 16 September 1917 with Joseph Stewart Temple Fall and several other pilots. He then transferred to 1 Squadron RNAS in early 1918. On 11 March 1918, he scored a solo victory, driving an Albatros D.V down out of control. Five days later, he shared a win with Maxwell Findlay. Wallace would not score again until 2 May, when he, Reginald Brading, Samuel Kinkead, and several other British pilots sent a hapless German observation plane down out of control; Wallace thus became an ace. ![]() Albatross DV His next triumph on the morning of 15 May was more of the same, as Wallace, Findlay, Kinkead, Brading, Charles Dawson Booker, Robert McLaughlin, and three other British pilots pounced upon and destroyed an Albatros D.V. A solo 'out of control' win on the afternoon patrol for the 15th, and another the next day put Wallace's tally at eight. He then transferred to 3 Squadron as the C Flight Commander. On 20 July 1918, he and Adrian Franklyn drove a Hannover two-seater observation plane down out of control. He continued to score with his new unit–mostly solo victories, but with one win shared with George R. Riley–bringing his total to thirteen by 21 August. The next day, he became a balloon buster, teaming with Riley to bring down a German observation balloon. Though he scored no further victories, his Distinguished Flying Cross was awarded on 2 November 1918. Citation DFC: Lieut. (T./Capt.) Hazel Le Roy Wallace. A gallant and most capable leader, who in many engagements has displayed marked ability and courage, notably in a recent attack on an aerodrome when he led his flight against the group of hangars allotted to him at an altitude of between 100 and 200 feet. By direct hits he destroyed three enemy aeroplanes and set fire to a hangar by machine-gun fire. In addition to above this officer has destroyed four aeroplanes and driven three down out of control. | Shores | ![]() |

Whealy was commissioned on 29 February 1916. On 24 August 1916 that he was posted to 3 Wing. He served with both 3 Naval Squadron and 9 Naval Squadron within that wing. He did not achieve his first victory until 12 April 1917. He flew his Sopwith Pup to three victories as a pilot of 3 Squadron. Then, on 9 May, he scored for the first time with 9 Squadron; he was still flying a Pup. He became an ace on 7 July. 9 Naval re-equipped with Sopwith Triplanes. Whealy first scored with his new aircraft on 29 July 1917, knocking one Albatros D.V down out of control and destroying another one in flames within the hour. He then switched to the Sopwith Camel back in 3 Naval. He scored once more in 1917, on 5 September, sending another D.V down without certifying its destruction. After a five month lapse, Whealy achieved his ninth credited victory on 17 February 1918. He followed that up with five claims in March, including the capture of an Albatross D.V. He added three further victories in April, six in May, and a single tally in June, on the 7th, running his total to 24. After a six-week lull, he scored his final three victories within two weeks, on 22 and 27 August, and on 4 September. His final record comprised 9 enemy airplanes destroyed by himself, three destroyed in conjunction with other pilots, ten down out of control by himself, two shared out of control victories, and one enemy plane captured. Citation: DSC 'Flt. Lieut. Arthur Treloar Whealy, RNAS For the most consistent determination, bravery and skill with which he has carried out numerous low flying harassing attacks on the enemy's troops, transports, etc., inflicting heavy casualties and damage.

Upon passing out from Sandhurst, Whistler was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Dorsetshire Regiment on 19 July 1916. He subsequently transferred to the Royal Flying Corps to be trained as a pilot, and was seconded to the RFC on 29 September with the appointment of flying officer. He was soon on operations and was wounded in action on 29 January 1917 when he was with 3 Squadron RFC. When he recovered he joined 80 Squadron RFC. He was promoted to the temporary rank of lieutenant (while serving with the RFC) on 1 August 1917, and was appointed a flight commander on 27 August, flying the Sopwith Camel. Promoted to the permanent rank of lieutenant on 19 January 1918, he returned to operations in France that year. He was credited with 23 victories ( 1 balloon, 13 destroyed, 9 'out of control') between March 1918 and October 1918, all while flying the Sopwith Camel. Citation DFC: 3 August 1918 'A very courageous and enterprising patrol leader, who has rendered valuable services. He has done exceptionally good work in attacking ground targets, which he engages at very low altitudes. During the past month his patrol attacked eight enemy scouts who were flying above him. He attacked a triplane and brought it down in a crash, and whilst thus himself engaged another of his pilots destroyed a second enemy machine. The remainder of the enemy formation were then driven off.' Citation DSO 2 November 1918 Capt. Alfred Harold Whistler, DFC. (Dorset Regt.) is appointed a Companion of the Distinguished Service Order. 'During recent operations this officer has rendered exceptionally brilliant service in attacking enemy aircraft and troops on the ground. On 9 August he dropped four bombs on a hostile battery, engaged and threw into confusion a body of troops, and drove down a hostile balloon, returning to his aerodrome after a patrol of one and a half hours duration with a most valuable report. He has in all destroyed ten aircraft and driven down five others out of control.' Citation DFC Bar: 8 February 1919 Capt. Alfred Harold Whistler, DSO, is awarded a bar to the DFC 'This officer has twenty-two enemy machines and one balloon to his credit. He distinguished himself greatly on 29 September, when he destroyed two machines in one combat, and on 15 September, when, following two balloons to within twenty feet of the ground, he destroyed one and caused the observer of the second to jump out and crash. He has, in addition, done arduous and valuable service in bombing enemy objectives and obtaining information. Captain Whistler is a gallant officer of fine judgment and power of leadership.' Citation DFC Second Bar: 15 March 1929 Awarded a Second Bar to the DFC 'In recognition of gallant and distinguished services rendered in connection with the operations against the Akhwan in the Southern Desert, Iraq, during the period November 1927 – May 1928.' | Shores | ![]() ![]() |
