He was the (officially) oldest man on Earth, aged 113, ald also the oldest Navy and RAF veteran, being also a founder of the latest (April 1918). He flew over Jutland and Ypres.

Today, the Great War falls bit more in the past, as you won´t hear one voice telling you how it was seeing it from above. When 2014 comes, I doubt there will be any survivors still alive to tell us about that. We´ll have only the books, the letters...and photographs.
