Edward Gordon Jones

Air Marshal Sir Edward ("Tap") Gordon Jones KCB, CBE, DSO, DFC (31 August 1914 – 20 February 2007) was an officer in the Royal Air Force for 34 years, from 1935 to 1969. He commanded a squadron of obsolescent biplane Gladiator fighters during the Greek Campaign in the Second World War, where he shot down five Italian Fiat CR.42 fighters. He served in mainly operational posts in Europe until he retired in 1969. Unusually, he never served a post in the Air Ministry or the UK Ministry of Defence.〔(Air Marshal Sir Edward 'Tap' Gordon Jones )〕
== Early life ==
Jones was born in Widnes, the third of four sons of Lt.Col. Dr Albert Jones DSO, MC.〔(Obituary ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', 27 February 2006〕 His father was the borough medical officer. Jones spent time in India as a child, where his brothers nicknamed him "Doolally Tap" (meaning "slightly mad"). He retained the nickname "Tap" for the rest of his life.〔
After grammar school, he studied medicine at Liverpool University, where he met his future wife.〔 His three brothers all became doctors, like their father, but Jones soon switched to veterinary science.〔 He was a keen sportsman, representing Liverpool University and Lancashire at rugby union. He also enjoyed shooting and the outdoor life, but he showed little interest in his studies.〔
