In recent weeks I have received several requests asking me to research the WW1 activities of airmen who served with 6 Squadron on the Western Front. Rather than keep the information off-line, I thought it would be a good idea to gradually build up a database of brief biographies for 6 Squadron Royal Air Force pioneers and include them on this website. So if you have any information or requests regarding 6 Squadron personnel who served in the Great War, please contact me via this blog or the 'CONTACT' page on this website. Pictured below are the men of the (then) Captain Lanoe Hawker's flight, taken in 1915.
