Robert Leckie (RCAF officer)
Air Marshal Robert Leckie, CB, DSO, DSC, DFC, CD (16 April 1890 – 31 March 1975) was a British-born Canadian aviation pioneer and Chief of the Air Staff of the Royal Canadian Air Force from 1944 to 1947.
== First World War service ==
Leckie learned to fly in Toronto and joined the Royal Naval Air Service in 1915.〔(Air of Authority - A History of RAF Organisation - AVM R Leckie )〕 During the First World War he flew anti-submarine patrols over the North Sea. Flying a Curtiss H12 flying boat on reconnaissance, Leckie downed the German zeppelin ''L22'' near Terschelling on 14 May 1917.〔 Fifteen months later, during a nighttime raid on 6 August 1918, a German zeppelin formation under the command of ''Führer der Luftschiffe (FdL.)'' (Admiral, 2nd class) Peter Strasser attacked Boston, Norwich, and the Humber estuary. Flying in a DH.4 biplane, Major Egbert Cadbury (pilot) and Leckie (gunner) took part in the interception engagement and were credited with downing Zeppelin ''L70'' just north of Wells-next-the-Sea on the Norfolk coast.〔 ''FdL.'' Strasser, head of the Imperial German Navy's zeppelin forces, was on board ''L70'' and did not survive. By the end of the war, Leckie was a Wing Commander in the Royal Air Force (RAF).〔
