    The Medal came into existence on the 3 June 1918 shortly after the RAF was formed

    He only just made it..you need 8 "kills" and the good Lt. had 9

    Next question. What was the first American carrier aircraft to be fitted with brakes? (Amazingly nobody had thought of it before!)

    Er, I could have worded the question better
    What American aircraft, designed to operate from aircraft carriers was the first to have brakes?

    Glyn,
    Is it the first to have brakes fitted to the wheels/gear or airbrakes?
