Today 26th July one hundred years ago "Mick" Mannock was sadly shot down by ground fire & killed.
Like MvR he broke one of his own rules & followed down an enemy plane he had damaged so one of his rookie pilots could earn his first victory.
Mick was one of the greatest Flight & Squadron commanders for the British forces & taught & led his pilots in exemplary fashion.
R.I.P Mick Mannock!
