Edwin Cole (RAF officer)
Squadron Leader Edwin Stuart Travis Cole (26 December 1895–1984) was a British World War I flying ace credited with eight aerial victories.
==World War I service==
Cole was a mechanical engineer from Bristol,〔 who on 14 December 1915 was awarded with Aviator's Certificate No. 2160 on Caudron biplanes at the Ruffy-Baumann School at Hendon. He was commissioned as a probationary second lieutenant in the Royal Flying Corps on 29 April 1916, was appointed a flying officer on 21 July, and was confirmed in his rank in August. On 15 September 1916, having been assigned to No. 60 Squadron to fly a Nieuport fighter, he scored his first victory.〔〔Franks (2000), p.10.〕
Reassigned to No. 1 Squadron, he once again flew a Nieuport. He triumphed twice in March 1917, and four times during Bloody April, including two observation balloons. On 1 May 1917, he and fellow ace Frank Sharpe captured a German Albatros D.III fighter at Roulers-Elverdinghe,〔 receiving promotion to lieutenant the same day. Following this, Cole was withdrawn from action.〔
On 6 July 1918 he was promoted to the temporary rank of captain.
