Air Service, United States Army Elliott White Springs (July 31, 1896 – October 15, 1959), was a South Carolina businessman and an American flying ace of World War I, credited with shooting down 16 enemy aircraft.

After claiming three destroyed and one 'out of control' with 85 Squadron, Springs was shot down on 27 June 1918 by Lt. Josef Raesch of Jasta 43.

After recovering from wounds received, he was reassigned to the U.S. Air Service's 148th Aero Squadron, flying the Sopwith Camel[1] On 3 August 1918, while escorting Airco DH.9 bombers, Springs shot down three Fokker D.VII scouts in flames.

Upon his return to the United States, Springs wrote numerous books, short stories, and articles.

Springs' profligate life changed in 1931 when his father died and he took over running the family textile firm.

[4] His home, known as the William Elliott White House, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
