Walter Hunt Longton DFC** AFC (10 September 1892 – 6 June 1927) was an English flying ace of the First World War, credited with 11 confirmed aerial victories.

On 3 June 1918, he was awarded the Air Force Cross by King George V.[3] He would not score his first aerial victory until 7 July, when he destroyed a German Fokker D.VII fighter plane over Doulieu.

:[4] Between 29th September and 9th October this officer carried out twelve tactical reconnaissances, bringing back most valuable information; he also displayed great gallantry in attacking enemy troops on the ground.

On 9th October, when on a low patrol, he observed a machine-gun nest which appeared to be the sole obstacle to our cavalry advance.

Having informed the cavalry and field artillery of the situation, he co-operated with the former in their attack, and, after the enemy had been driven out, pursued them with machine-gun fire as they retreated.

A photo in Flight Magazine shows him seated in a Fokker DVII adorned with Charlie Chaplin's Little Tramp on the side of its cockpit.

[citation needed] Longton would participate in air exhibitions, races, and trials of various sorts through the 1920s right up until the year of his death.
