Earl Hand
Captain Earl McNabb Hand was a World War I flying ace credited with five confirmed aerial victories and two unconfirmed ones.〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/hand.php Retrieved 6 February 2010.〕 Hand began his victory roll while flying a Sopwith Camel for 45 Squadron. He tallied his first win when he drove an Albatros D.V down out of control at Langemark-Poelkapelle, Belgium on 15 November 1917. After 45 Squadron shifted from the Western Front to Italy, Hand had a couple of unconfirmed claims on 11 January 1918; he then scored four times between 30 January and 9 May 1918. A summary of his victories shows four destroyed enemy airplanes, one confirmed and two unconfirmed driven down out of control. On 1 June 1918, Hand was shot down by Austro-Hungarian ace Frank Linke-Crawford. Linke-Crawford hit the gas tank of Hand's Camel and set it afire; somehow, Hand survived both the flames and the impact of the crash. However, he was badly burned and taken prisoner. Hand was repatriated in 1919 and returned to Canada. He became a magistrate. He also helped found the Toronto Flying Club. ==Sources of information==
