Captain Eric John Stephens (1895-1967) was an Australian flying ace who served in the Royal Air Force.
Eric John Stephens was born in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia on 13 September 1895.
Using a Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a, he shot down a Rumpler on 28 June for his first victory; he shared it with Frederick McCall.
Stephens would accumulate 12 more wins after this, all solo, and most over enemy fighters, with the final one falling on 1 November 1918.
By war's end, he was a Flight Commander, had destroyed five enemy airplanes, and driven down eight more out of control.
