He was retrained at the school as an instructor for some time, as the airships were not yet completed. He did not receive his commission of 1st Lieut until May 1918. He was in the 185th Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group and was on the front [flying a Sopwith Camel] until he was shot down and taken prisoner Oct 30th and was held for about six weeks when he escaped.
