Captain William Stanley Jenkins DFC* (26 May 1890 – May 1966) was a Canadian flying ace during World War I.
Jenkins gave his profession as "window dresser", and served for three years with the 1st Regiment, Grenadier Guards of Canada.
The medical officer's description said Jenkins had fair hair and complexion, grey eyes, and was 5 feet 7+3⁄4 inches (1.72 m) tall.
The young recruit was assigned to 87th Battalion (Canadian Grenadier Guards), CEF[2] and served as a corporal in France.
[4] In the meantime, on 28 June 1918, he relinquished the rank of captain when he ceased being second in command of a siege battalion; once again, he reverted to second lieutenant.
On 6 June, he teamed with fellow Canadian John Gerald Manuel to destroy an enemy reconnaissance two-seater aircraft over Doulieu.
[4] He then ran off a string of eight consecutive triumphs over German fighters during August, September, and October.
The recommendation for decoration noted that Jenkins had flown some very effective ground attack missions during early November, and mentions a victory over a German kite balloon.
