Carleton Main Clement

Captain Carleton Main Clement MC (15 May 1896 – 19 August 1917) was a Canadian First World War flying ace officially credited with 14 victories.

Clement attended Victoria University, Toronto, before serving as a private in the 47th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

He was half an inch shy of six feet tall, with fair hair and complexion and blue eyes.

His assignment to 22 Squadron had him piloting the outmoded Royal Aircraft Factory FE.2b, with observers such as Llewelyn Davies manning the front guns.

Between 4 December 1916 and 5 June 1917, he flew this obsolescent model to victory over eight different German Albatros fighters, sometimes teaming with such other aces as Gerald Gordon Bell, and earning the MC in the process.
