Edward "Mick" Mannock
Mick Mannock died on 1918-07-26.
His death was another of those mysteries of WW1 aerial combat. Major Edward Corringham Mannock was flying a patrol mission to tutor Lt. D. C. Inglis. While flying at low altitude he came under fire from a German trench and a lone rifle bullet set fire to his fuel tank. According to Inglis, Mannock nosed straight down and crashed just as he had hoped Von Richthofen had(*). About a year later on July 18, 1918, Mannock was awarded the Victoria Cross posthumously for his "fearless courage, remarkable skill, devotion to duty, and self-sacrifice." * Mannock refused to drink a toast in honor of the death of the Red Baron and commented: "I hope he roasted all the way down".
