Armstrong Whitworth F.K.8 Victoria Cross Hero This story was originally published in TEE EMM (Training Memoranda) in May 1941, issued by the then Air Member for Training, Air Ministry, London
123 On 1 May 1918, the name of 2nd Lieutenant A A McLeod of the Royal Air Force appeared in the London Gazette as having been awarded the Victoria Cross. Only three Canadian aviators received this decoration during the last Great War, and he was the youngest, being not then 19. As a matter of further interest he was not a fighter pilot, to whom, as a rule, fate sent more opportunities for winning the VC; he was one of the very few airmen to win it in a heavy bomber. As a record of successful achievement, dogged endurance and high courage, the story of the fight that gave McLeod his decoration is worth re-telling.
