A Night Bomber Pilot in the Great War

Captain Steven Wynn Vickers joined the Cheshire Regiment in August 1914, but after being badly wounded he remustered to the RFC (Royal Flying Corps). While other young pilots were killed or injured almost as soon as they got their wings, Captain Vickers survived numerous forced and crash landings.
He joined 101 squadron in 1917 and completed seventy-three sorties over enemy territory before being repatriated in May 1918 and awarded the newly inaugurated DFC, as well as the MC.
With the war drawing to a close, he became a flying instructor at a RAF station in Lincolnshire, but he did not live ling enough to receive either of his medals or the distinction that he deserved.
