William Elliott (RAF officer)

Captain William Boyd Elliott was a World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.

This officer has taken part in one hundred bombing raids, in the majority of which he has been leader, a position for which he has the essential qualities in a marked degree.

While leading one bombing raid his formation was attacked by thirty hostile machines; ten of these were destroyed, the objective was successfully bombed, and the formation returned without the loss of a machine.

This brilliant success was mainly due to Captain Elliott's skilful leadership.
