Albert Desbrisay Carter DSO & Bar (2 June 1892 – 22 May 1919) was a Canadian World War I flying ace credited with 28 victories.

Towards the end of his convalescence he received permission to accept a company command in the 140th (New Brunswick) Battalion, then in formation.

There being an over-abundance of inexperienced senior officers, Cater was employed for a number of months in the reserve training division, first with the Royal Canadian Regiment depot, and subsequently with the 13th Reserve Battalion of the New Brunswick Regiment, which provided reinforcements to his old unit in France, the 26th.

In May 1917, despite holding the rather senior rank of major, he was attached to the Royal Flying Corps Number 1 School of Military Aeronautics.

[citation needed] He was granted a temporary commission of Flying Officer on 3 September 1917, while retaining his Canadian Army rank of Major during his secondment to the RFC.

[2] By the end of the year, on 29 December, he would score his fifteenth and final triumph flying a SPAD.

He would score an even dozen times flying the Dolphin, with his final success falling in flames on 16 May 1918.

[1] On 18 March, Major Carter was shot down by German ace Lieutenant (Leutnant) Paul Billik.

[3] After spending the month of January 1919 in hospital, Carter transferred to the all-Canadian 123 Squadron, RAF, forerunner of the nascent Canadian Air Force.

He showed the utmost determination, keenness and dash, and his various successful encounters, often against odds, make up a splendid record.
