Flyer Who Downed 58 Foe Aeros is Missing -- July 26, 2018

Washington Times, 03-August-1918

100 years ago today, on 26-July-1918, Edward "Mick" Mannock, the highest scoring English ace, was shot down and killed by ground fire.  After the war, Mannock was awarded the Victoria Cross.

The article above reports him as missing.  I liked the other articles, so I included the whole block.  His final score was determined to be 61.
