| "A fearless and skillful airman who has destroyed two enemy aircraft and driven down three others out of control. On 3 October [1918], certain of our troops were held up by a body of the enemy. Observing this, Lt. Cooper dived and engaged them, driving them out of their trenches with machine gun fire, and so enabled our troops to advance." DFC citation, London Gazette, 8 February 1919 |
