Victor Huston

Major Victor Henry Huston MC (13 October 1890 – 10 April 1941) was a First World War flying ace credited with six aerial victories.

Huston was then paired with observer Lieutenant E. A. Foord for his remaining three victories, destroying an Albatros D.III on 24 April, then a Halberstadt D north-west of Cambrai on 13 May.

Huston shared his sixth and final victory with Flight Sub-Lieutenant Harold Spencer Kerby, both pilots being credited with destroying an Albatros D.V north-west of Havrincourt on 27 May.

[7] The Chilean Army had founded a School of Military Aeronautics in 1913 to train pilots, but the war in Europe meant that they had difficulties in obtaining modern aircraft, and had to use obsolete pre-war machines.

[2] Huston's secondment to the Royal Air Force ended on 30 September 1919,[18] and he relinquished his RAF commission as a flight lieutenant to return to the Canadian Army as a captain.

[19][20] Huston returned to England and lived in London, but was fatally injured during the Second World War in an air raid on Coventry, where he died at Gulson Road Hospital on 10 April 1941.
