Lieutenant Frank George Gibbons was an aviation pioneer. He was a flying ace credited with fourteen victories, all against enemy fighter planes, during World War I. Postwar, he became an air racer.〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/england/gibbons1.php Retrieved 18 March 2010.〕 ==World War I== Gibbons joined the Royal Flying Corps as an air cadet mechanic in June 1917. He was commissioned in November 1917.〔("Flight" Magazine, 27 May 1932) http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1932/1932%20-%200517.html?search=Frank%20George%20Gibbons Retrieved 19 March 2010.〕 His first aerial victory came on 31 May 1918. He was piloting a two-seater Bristol F.2 Fighter for 22 Squadron with John Jones manning the guns in the observer's seat, when they drove a Pfalz D.III down out of control near Armentières. This was the first in an uninterrupted string that carried through until 27 September 1918, and that saw such aces as John H. Umney, Ronald Malcolm Fletcher, Valentine Collins, Christopher Shannon, and James McDonald man the observer's guns while teamed with Gibbons. In the final tally, Gibbon had destroyed six German fighter planes and driven eight others down out of control,〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/england/gibbons1.php Retrieved 18 March 2010.〕 although his front gun was responsible for only three or four of those.
