Notes
An S.E.5a pilot, Lawson was assigned to 32 Squadron in April 1918. He scored his last two victories of the war on 27 September 1918. One of these was Fritz Rumey of Jasta 5. Lawson collided with Rumey's Fokker D.VII and the German ace jumped from his plane but was killed when his parachute failed to deploy. In 1922, Lawson joined the South African Air Force but was killed in a crash while flying as a passenger aboard a D.H.9.
