Captain Albert Ball, VC, DSO, MC. Notts and Derby Regt, and RFC, 1919. Albert Ball was one of the most famous British fighter aces of the First World War and a posthumous recipient of the Victoria Cross. He was awarded the medal as a result of taking part in 26 aerial combats between 26 April and 6 May 1917, during which period he destroyed 11 hostile aircraft, brought two down out of control, and forced several others to land. Ball was killed on 7 May 1917 near Douai after his plane crashed behind enemy lines during a dogfight in deteriorating visibility. He was only 20 years old at the time of his death. Edward Newling's portrait of him was conducted posthumously. |
