Major Charles Dawson Booker DSC (sometimes hyphenated into Dawson-Booker) (21 April 1897 – 13 August 1918) was an English World War I fighter ace credited with 29 victories.

[1] He was promoted to high rank while relatively young as a result of his gallantry and unswerving dedication to his country.

He spent part of his youth in Australia, attending the Grammar School in Melbourne from February 1908 through December 1911.

He did not open his victory roll until 23 January 1917, after his transfer to 8 Naval, when he drove an Albatros D.III down out of control while piloting a Sopwith Pup.

He was described by one of his wingmen as "...a little fellow, usually very silent, who fears nothing, but he would run a mile from any girl....he hopes the war will go on forever because he loves air fighting, and if the war were to end he is afraid he might not be able to find a suitable job.

[4] He had used Sopwith Triplanes (his usual aircraft being serial number N5482, which he whimsically dubbed 'Maude') to run his string of triumphs to 23 by this time.

On 27 September, he scored his first victory while flying a Sopwith Camel; he shot down German ace Oberleutnant Hans Waldhausen of Jasta 37, who became a prisoner.

After some months back in England, he returned to France as a Major commanding 201 Squadron of the newly formed Royal Air Force.

"Charles Dawson Booker was also awarded the Croix de guerre on 14 July 1917.
