| | After two years of service with the army in Africa, Barton joined the Royal Flying Corps. Following flight training, he served briefly with 84 Squadron before he was reassigned to 24 Squadron on 3 January 1918. Evidence suggests he may have been the ace who shot down the Hans Wolff on 16 May 1918. An S.E.5a pilot, Barton shared in the capture of Kurt Wüsthoff on 17 June 1918 when the German's Fokker D.VII was forced down near Cachy. |
