| | Having joined the Royal Flying Corps in 1915, Armstrong earned his Royal Aero Certificate on 12 February 1916 and was subsequently posted to 60 Squadron. Flying the Nieuport scout, he scored his first victory on 9 November 1916, shooting down an Albatros D.I near Havrincourt. After serving with 44 Squadron throughout 1917, he was reassigned to 78 Squadron as a flight commander before joining 151 Squadron in the summer of 1918. As a member of the Royal Air Force's first night fighter squadron, he scored four more victories as a Sopwith Camel pilot. Shortly before the Armistice was signed, Armstrong was killed in a crash while performing low level aerobatics in his Camel. |
