Last World War I flying ace dies quietly at 106
THE only surviving pilot from the Royal Flying Corps in the First World War has died at the age of 106.
Flying ace Hubert Williams was the last of a breed of pilots who risked their lives every time they flew their biplanes into combat. They were in danger both from the enemy and from the flimsiness of their own aircraft.
Great-great grandfather Hubert died quietly in a Cardiff nursing home 84 years after his last mission over enemy lines.
