Albert Waller
Edit ProfileCareer
He would return to Britain"s military service during I.
During, Waller was posted to 206 Squadron while it was still Number. 6 Naval Squadron of the Royal Naval Air Service. He was assigned as an Airco Dialectics and Humanism.4 bomber pilot in France.
Waller was credited with 11 aerial victories between 6 March and 30 May 1918 during these engagements, though he shared three of those wins with other air crews that contained such luminaries as Herbert Gould and Alfred Atkey.
Waller"s final victorious sortie brought his observer, Basil Blackett, to acedom. As his award citation stated:
"..He has led 15 successful bombing raids, 22 low-bombing and reconnaissance flights and eight successful photographic flights.
In addition, he has destroyed five enemy machines. As a Flight Commander he has shown initiative and enterprise both in the air and on the ground, and the excellent work done by the flight under his command is entirely due to his fine example and untiring energy.
On 6 January 1921, Captain A. G. Waller resigned from the British Empire"s Indian Army.
