ROYAL FLYING CORPS – WINGS OVER FRANCE # 3

 

With the RFC he flew

Over where the ill wind blew

Defending the skies from the Hun

Flying where battle was done

One of Britain’s flying aces

Shooting them down in braces

Flying so close to heaven

His tally numbered 57

 

Flt Commander James Thomas Byford McCudden VC, DSO & Bar, MC & Bar, MM

(28 March 1895–9 July 1918)
