Wing Commander Dudley Lloyd-Evans (1895 – 20 March 1972) was a Welsh-born soldier and flying ace. After being decorated for his infantry service during World War I, he transferred to aviation, was credited with eight official aerial victories, and again won military honours for his valour. He remained in the Royal Air Force until the end of the Second World War. ==World War I== Dudley Lloyd-Evans' military career began when he was commissioned as a temporary second lieutenant on 8 October 1914. He served in the South Wales Borderers and was awarded the Military Cross for gallantry in December 1916. He then transferred to the Royal Flying Corps and in early 1918 was posted to No. 64 Squadron as a Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5a pilot. He began a run of solo aerial victories on the last day of May 1918, when he destroyed a German Albatros D.V fighter over La Bassée. He scored the second time on 25 July 1918, destroying a Fokker D.VII. Another fell under his guns on 21 August. Two days later, he destroyed a two-seater LVG reconnaissance plane over Cantin. On 3 September, he drove down a Fokker D.VII out of control for his fifth win, becoming an ace. Two days later, he drove another one down northeast of Cambrai. On 18 September 1918, he capped his career as an ace by destroying one Fokker D.VII and driving another one down. His exploits won him a Distinguished Flying Cross, which was gazetted after war's end.
