William Leefe-Robinson by Ivan Berryman.


William Leefe-Robinson by Ivan Berryman.

Lieutenant Leefe-Robinsons BE2C, converted to single-seater night-fighter configuration, destroying the German SL11 over Hertfordshire on the night of 2/3 September, 1916. Robinson attacked the SL11 from below, raking it with incendiary fire, before turning and diving past the airship for another attack. As he did so, the airship exploded into flames and crashed into a field near Cuffley, killing all sixteen crew. For this action, Leefe-Robinson was awarded the VC.

From 1915 to 1917, there existed a very real threat of a bombing campaign on mainland Britain as the giant German airships drifted silently and menacingly across the English Channel and the North Sea to deliver their deadly cargo on the towns and cities of the east coast. Countermeasures were soon put into action as powerful searchlights picked out the Zeppelins for the anti-aircraft batteries and RFC pilots to pour their unrelenting fire into the raiders, sometimes with little effect, sometimes with catastrophic results. Here, 2nd Lieutenant Brandons BE.2 climbs for position, its exhaust pipes aglow in the dark, whilst flak bursts all around the massive bulk of the L.33 as she passes over the east end of London on the night of 23 / 24th September 1916.

A Zeppelin over London by Ivan Berryman. 		On one occasion Second Lieutenant (Temporary Captain) Hugh Vivian Champion de Crespigny, of the Suffolk Regiment and Royal Flying Corps, attacked five enemy aeroplanes over the enemys lines. He drove away one, and brought another to the ground badly hit. The fire of the remaining three then crippled his own machine, but after emptying one more drum at them, he brought his machine down. For his conspicuous gallantry and skill he was awarded the D.S.O.

A Zeppelin over London by Ivan Berryman. 		Believing that the enemy was concentrating men for a big attack at some point on the Allied lines, Lieutenant Pretyman ascended in his aeroplane to make a reconnaissance. On looking down on the station at Don he saw a battalion forming up outside the railway buildings. Circling back over the station with shrapnel bursting all round him, he dropped a bomb on a train, completely wrecking the centre of it, as it stood ready alongside the platform. Though a German aeroplane swept down to attack him, he drove it off. Lieutenant Pretymans great gallantry, ability and initiative were afterwards rewarded with the D.S.O.
Lieutenant George F. Pretyman, Of The Royal Flying Corps, Blowing Up A Train.
