Air Vice Marshal George Roberts Howsam, CB, MC (29 January 1895 –16 April 1988) was a Canadian First World War flying ace, officially credited with 13 victories.

The younger George Howsam joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force right out of high school,[3] on 23 March 1916.

He transferred to the Royal Flying Corps in Spring 1917, while he was still in Canada; he trained at Deseronto and Camp Borden.

He barely made the 1917 scoring lists, destroying an Albatros two-seater over Zarren, Belgium on 28 December 1917 for his first win.

Flying a Sopwith Snipe, he set a Fokker D.VII afire on 30 October to cap his career as an ace.

He has destroyed five enemy machines and driven down others out of control, showing splendid courage and initiative on all occasions.
