            • 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?
