ROYAL FLYING CORPS - WINGS OVER FRANCE # 4

 

With the RFC he flew

Over where the ill wind blew

Defending the skies from the Hun

Flying where battle was done

Hazardous sorties over the front

Avoiding enemies on the hunt

 

Air Commodore Ferdinand Maurice Felix West VC CBE MC (19 JANUARY 1896 – 8 JULY 1988)
