He put in 200 hours flight time as an observer in 70 Squadron before being sent to pilot's training in March 1917. On 14 December, he was assigned to 73 Squadron as a Sopwith Camel pilot. He scored his first win on 3 May 1918, scored steadily, and on 19 July he became an ace. His next victory, two days later, came during a squadron patrol that destroyed a Fokker Dr.I triplane, and was shared with Major Maurice Le Blanc-Smith, Lieutenant William Sidebottom, Lieutenant William Stephenson, Second Lieutenant Robert Chandler, and two other pilots, with every pilot credited with a win.

On the 25th, he destroyed a Fokker D.VII and teamed with another British pilot to drive down another one out of control.
