Leslie Court

Second Lieutenant Leslie Simpson Court (1897 – 10 December 1918) was a British World War I flying ace.

He began his victory string while piloted by Lancelot Richardson; on 26 June, the duo were credited with destruction of a German Fokker Eindekker.

[4] Five days later, Court was again teamed with Richardson, and at 1830 hours, they destroyed an Eindekker and drove a second one down out of control, for two victories apiece.

Richardson having been wounded during this sortie, Court was assigned to a newly arrived pilot, Corporal Thomas Mottershead for familiarization flights and initial combat missions.

[8] He was serving at the 26th Training Depot Station,[9] when he died at the 1st Scottish General Hospital, Aberdeen, on 10 December 1918.
