In November, he scored his third victory flying the SPAD S.VII and was reassigned to 56 Squadron in 1917. That year, Albert Ball was killed in action and Henderson represented his father at the memorial services. Flying the S.E.5a, Henderson scored his final victories in July 1917, shooting down four Albatros D.V's. Returning to England, he and South African ace Herbert Redler were killed in a D.H.9 crash the following year. |
