1915 in the RNAS he flew
When a Zeppelin came
into view
In the skies over
Ghent
So, in hot pursuit he
went
Taking heavy machine
gun fire
Warneford quickly
climbed higher
To take up position
over head
Where soon the sky
turned red
Where the bombs he
dropped
Saw the Zeppelin
stopped
Exploding in a ball of
fire
Blowing Warneford up
higher
Overturning the
attacking plane
Stopping its engine, which
wouldn’t start again
So, he had to land on
enemy soil
And in the darkness
quickly toil
To restart the engines
and get on his way
So, he could fight
another day
Flt Lt Reginald
Alexander John Warneford VC
(15 October 1891 – 17 June 1915)
