  • Frederick Libby (Part 4 of 8)
    The American Fighter Aces Association Oral Interviews The Museum of Flight Seattle, Washington Frederick Libby (Part 4 of 8) Interviewed by: Eugene A. Valencia Interview Date: circa March 1962 2 Abstract: In this eight-part oral history, fighter ace Frederick Libby is interviewed about his life and his military service with the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. In part four, he discusses his time as an observer and pilot with various squadrons in France. Topics discussed include his thoughts on German and British pilots, military life in France and England, and mission logistics for squadrons. The interview is conducted by fellow fighter ace Eugene A. Valencia. Biography: Frederick Libby was born in the early 1890s in Sterling, Colorado. He worked as an itinerant cowboy during his youth and joined the Canadian Army shortly after the outbreak of World War I. Deployed to France in 1915, Libby initially served with a motor transport unit, then volunteered for the Royal Flying Corps. He served as an observer with No. 23 Squadron and No. 11 Squadron, then as a pilot with No. 43 Squadron and No. 25 Squadron. Scoring a number of aerial victories during his RFC career, he became the first American fighter ace. Libby transferred to the United States Army Air Service in 1917 and was medically discharged soon after for spondylitis. As a civilian, he went on to embark on a number of business ventures, including founding the Eastern Oil Company and Western Air Express. Libby passed away in 1970. Biographical information courtesy of: Libby, Frederick. Horses don’t fly: The memoir of the cowboy who became a World War I ace.

  • All Nations Together a Battle of Britain Resource
    All Nations Together A Battle of Britain resource This resource provides biographical content to supplement a Key Stage 3 student study into the Battle of Britain. It highlights the international profile of the Royal Air Force in 1940. As well as investigation into the political, strategic, tactical and technical aspects of the battle, no study is complete without reference to the human experience of the event. This was an early phase of the Second World War when the outcome hung upon the skills and courage of a small number of combatants and support staff. It may surprise students to learn that numbered among Churchill’s ‘Few’ were participants from many Allied nations. A study of the Battle fits into Key Stage 3 History in the following ways: • In the broad purpose of the study of history, as outlined in the National Curriculum: ‘History helps pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time.’ • One of the key aims for the teaching of KS3 history is to: ‘know and understand the history of these islands as a coherent, chronological narrative, from the earliest times to the present day: how people’s lives have shaped this nation and how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world.’ • Amongst options for subject content is the unit: ‘challenges for Britain, Europe and the wider world 1901 to the present day … this could include: … the Second World War and the wartime leadership of Winston Churchill.’ The Battle of Britain, 10 July to 31 October 1940, was a large air battle fought between the German air force - the Luftwaffe - and the Royal Air Force of Great Britain.
