Though he scored his victories with the Royal Air Force, Kullberg was an American citizen. He was rejected for training as an American pilot because he was too short. He then joined the Royal Flying Corps in Canada on 7 August 1917.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harold Albert Kullberg )〕 ==Biography== He was born on 10 September 1896 in Somerville, Massachusetts.〔 He joined No. 1 Squadron RFC in May 1918.
