Archibald Reith Low (31 December 1878 – 21 January 1969)[1] was a British pilot and aeronautics pioneer.

[6] Low held the rank of Second Lieutenant in the City of London Imperial Volunteers.

[7] He held the rank of Acting Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve attached to the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).

The new rank structure for the RAF was not introduced into the RAF until 4 August 1919, following inter-service squabbling in the wake of massive post-war defence cuts, which reached a new low when the Army and Navy refused to allow the RAF to use their officer ranks, forcing Trenchard to create new ones.
