Squadron Leader Charles George Gass MC (18 April 1898 – March 1977) was the highest scoring observer ace during the First World War, with a total of 39 victories (16 solo) scored serving as a gunner flying with various pilots.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Charles Gass )〕 After working in the Post Office between the wars, he was recalled to the Royal Air Force in early 1940.
==Early life and First World War==
Gass was born in Chelsea, London in April 1898. He originally joined the 2/24th Battalion, London Regiment of the Territorial Force and became a sergeant, the rank he held when he first entered a theatre of war on 25 June 1916.〔

On 26 March 1918, he was assigned to No. 22 Squadron as an observer〔 on Bristol F.2bs, flying in France. The two-seater "Brisfit" had a maximum speed of 123 mph, which made it as fast as or faster than most enemy fighters, and was manoeuvrable to boot. It had a forward-pointing Vickers machine gun for the pilot, and one or two Lewis machine guns that could be slid around on their Scarff ring mount by the observer/gunner to cover a wide field of fire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bristol F.2b fighter )〕
