Donald Beard
Lieutenant Donald Wainwright Beard (born 20 May 1895, date of death unknown) was a World War I flying ace credited with eight aerial victories.
==Service through end of World War I==
Beard originally joined the Royal Flying Corps as a mechanic on 20 August 1913. He was manning the guns in the back seat of a Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2 on a 4 Squadron mission flown on 20 July 1916. During a dogfight, Captain Copeland, the pilot, was wounded. Beard shot down the attacking Pfalz E.I, then flew the B.E.2 home. His heroism earned him a Military Medal and a chance for pilot training.〔Guttman & Dempsey (2007), p.91.〕
Training completed, he was assigned to 11 Squadron as a sergeant pilot of a Bristol F.2 Fighter on 26 November 1917. On 9 March 1918, with Sergeant H. W. Scarnell manning the rear guns, Beard drove a German Pfalz D.III down out of control. Six days later, the same team destroyed an Albatros D.III fighter and drove down two others. A week later, with Second Lieutenant H. M. Stewart as gunner, Beard set a D.V on fire.〔 On 3 April 1918, Beard was commissioned as a Temporary Second Lieutenant. Beard's final victories came on 9 May 1918, when he destroyed one Pfalz D.III and drove another down out of control.〔
