Lieutenant Merrill Samuel Taylor was a Canadian flying ace during World War I. He was credited with seven aerial victories while flying a Sopwith Camel fighter for the Royal Naval Air Service, and later, the Royal Air Force. He touched off the air battle that resulted in the death of the war's leading ace, Manfred von Richthofen, on 21 April 1918. On 2 May 1918, he killed German ace Hans Weiss for his fifth victory. Taylor was killed in action by Franz Büchner on 7 July 1918. ==Early life== Merrill Samuel Taylor was born in Singhampton, Ontario, Canada on 15 April 1893,〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/attestation/taylor4.php Retrieved 10 February 2012.〕 the son of Samuel Taylor.〔http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?Id=60616 Retrieved 10 February 2012.〕 The younger Taylor was schooled in Singhampton and Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan before matriculating at the University of Toronto in Applied Science from 1912-1916.〔http://airforce.ca/uploads/airforce/2009/07/gong-8s-t.html〕 He was a bachelor,〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/attestation/taylor4.php Retrieved 10 February 2012.〕 and an enthusiastic rugby football player,〔''Above the Trenches'', p. 359.〕 when he enlisted on 17 April 1916 into the University's Training Company of the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force. His enlistment attestation listed his next of kin as his mother, Mary Taylor, who was residing in Regina, Saskatchewan. As was customary for Canadian enlistees, Taylor swore allegiance to King George V. His physical examination showed him to be 5 feet 7 3/4 inches tall, dark complected, with black hair, hazel eyes, and a scar on his left jaw.〔http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/canada/attestation/taylor4.php Retrieved 10 February 2012.〕
