Jump to
Captain John Lightfoot Trollope, MC & Bar, (Wallington, 30 May 1897 - Hove, 21 October 1958) was a British First World War flying ace, who was the first British pilot to shoot down 7 enemy aircraft in one day, on 24 March 1918. Four days later, he claimed his last 3 kills of the war (bringing his total to 18), before being shot down by German ace Paul Billik. Badly wounded, he was captured by the Germans, but repatriated in June 1918. While in German captivity, his left hand and wrist were amputated as part of the treatment for his wounds. After repatriation, further surgery removed his left arm to the shoulder.
