Arthur Gerald Knight

Captain Arthur Gerald Knight DSO, MC (30 July 1895 – 20 December 1916) was a British World War I flying ace credited with eight aerial victories.

Two months later, Knight would fall under the guns of Manfred von Richthofen, who had also been in the dogfight when Boelcke was killed.

The younger Knight was a student of Applied Science at Upper Canada College when he joined the Royal Flying Corps in 1915.

His next two wins were of the "driven down out of control" variety, but for his fourth triumph on 14 September he helped Stanley Cockerell flame a Fokker fighter.

He scored his eighth victory five days later, downing an enemy fighter northeast of Arras, and continuing his assault on a second despite a broken machine gun extractor.
