Frederick Elliott Brown

Captain Frederick Elliott Brown (3 February 1895 – 15 September 1971) was a Canadian World War I flying ace credited with 10 aerial victories.

He joined the 8th Infantry Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and later served with the Royal Scots Fusiliers.

[4] On 8 November 1917, while posted to 84 Squadron as a SE.5a pilot, Brown scored his first aerial victory, driving down an Albatros D.V out of control east of Poelcapelle.

[5] Ten days later, he scored three individual victories in a 40 minutes stretch; he sent down out of control two Albatros D.Vs over Saint Quentin, then destroyed a German two-seater reconnaissance plane.

While returning to his aerodrome, he observed an enemy two-seater, and, though his engine was running badly and might have failed him any moment, he attacked it and drove it down in a vertical nose dive.

[10] Frederick Elliott Brown returned to service during World War II, serving as an instructor in the Royal Canadian Air Force.
