Victor Groom

Air Marshal Sir Victor Emmanuel Groom KCVO, KBE, CB, DFC & Bar (4 August 1898 – 6 December 1990) was a senior officer in the Royal Air Force and a flying ace of the First World War credited with eight aerial victories.〔(Victor Groom ) The Aerodrome, Retrieved on 14 March 2010.〕 He rose to become a consequential participant in air operations to support Operation Overlord, the re-invasion of France during the Second World War.〔(Air of Authority - A History of RAF Organisation - Air Marshal Sir Victor Groom ) Retrieved on 14 March 2010.〕
==World War I==
Groom was educated at Alleyns, Dulwich. He joined the Artists Rifles of the West Yorkshire Regiment as a Private and was commissioned and transferred to the Royal Flying Corps on 26 April 1917. He was appointed a Flying Officer on 30 January 1918〔 and placed on the General List of the Royal Flying Corps. On 18 March, he was assigned to 20 Squadron as a Bristol F.2 Fighter pilot.〔〔
On his first combat flight, his formation leader fired a Very flare that landed in the rear cockpit of Groom's Bristol. While the observer burned his hands smothering the fire that threatened to set off munitions, Groom safely landed.〔 Having survived friendly fire, Groom began to triumph over enemy fire on 8 May 1918, when he began a string of eight victories that would take him through to 30 July. Groom's final tally was three enemy planes set afire, four otherwise destroyed, and one driven down out of control; his observer/gunner for all these victories was Ernest Hardcastle.〔
Groom went on leave, was laid low by influenza, and did not return to combat in France. Instead, upon recovery, he was posted to 111 Squadron in Egypt.〔
