Captain George Edwin Thomson DSO MC (19 September 1897 – 23 May 1918) was a Scottish World War I flying ace credited with 21 aerial victories.

[4] Thomson was seriously injured during flight training; the accident left him with lasting scars to his face.

His tally included five enemy planes destroyed; he shared one of these triumphs with fellow ace Sydney Smith.

He also drove down fifteen enemy planes out of control; one of these victories was also shared with Smith, and another with Horace Debenham.

He dived on it and fired sixty rounds at a close range, rendering the observer insensible.

He then pulled up under the tail of the enemy machine, fired another thirty rounds, and observed it going down in a slow spin.

On the following day, observing a hostile two-seater machine, he dived on it, engaging it at 100 yards range.

On the hostile plane going down in a slow spin, he followed it to within 2,500 feet, but was compelled to withdraw owing to heavy machine-gun fire from the ground.

He has, in all, accounted for twenty-one enemy machines, and has at all times during recent operations displayed the most marked skill and gallantry.

[6]Captain Thomson also won the Distinguished Flying Cross, gazetted 21 September 1918.
