Re-equipped with Sopwith Camels, 66 Squadron was transferred to the Italian front in November 1917. Boyson scored his first victory on 8 December 1917, shooting down an Albatros D.V near Valstagna. On 29 January 1918, he was badly injured in a crash while attempting to land his Camel in the fog. When he recovered, he returned to duty and scored four more victories in May 1918. |
