Hi everybody,
This question might be a bit marginal as regards WW1 and modelling, but the guy was a pilot and he must have done something during WW1...
I'm looking for biographical data of G.B. (George Bertram) Cockburn (1872-1931, British pilot's license No. 5). I know that he was a Scotsman, that he represented Britain in the first Gordon Bennett Trophy air race in 1909, that he was flight instructor for naval aviators in 1911 and that he held positions in the Royal Aero Club after the war.
Do you know anything more about him, or do you have any advice on where I can look?
Cheers,
Anders Bruun
