Captain Horace Dale Barton (born 22 November 1891, date of death unknown) was a World War I flying ace credited with 19 aerial victories. He originally spent 1914–1916 with the army in German Southwest and East Africa. He then joined the Royal Flying Corps in England. His first assignment after pilot's training was 84 Squadron. On 3 January 1918, he moved on to 24 Squadron. On 18 February, he scored his first victory, sending a DFW reconnaissance plane down out of control. On 16 May, he scored his fourth; it is likely he was the one who killed German ace Hans Wolff. His steady accumulation of single victories saw him become an ace on 6 June, when he defeated an Albatros D.V. His next victory, on 17 June 1918, was his most important, as he helped force down and capture 27-victory ace Kurt W

  • Captain Horace Dale Barton (born 22 November 1891, date of death unknown) was a World War I flying ace credited with 19 aerial victories. He originally spent 1914–1916 with the army in German Southwest and East Africa. He then joined the Royal Flying Corps in England. His first assignment after pilot's training was 84 Squadron. On 3 January 1918, he moved on to 24 Squadron. On 18 February, he scored his first victory, sending a DFW reconnaissance plane down out of control. On 16 May, he scored his fourth; it is likely he was the one who killed German ace Hans Wolff. His steady accumulation of single victories saw him become an ace on 6 June, when he defeated an Albatros D.V. His next victory, on 17 June 1918, was his most important, as he helped force down and capture 27-victory ace Kurt Wüsthoff in a new Fokker D.VII. Eventually, scoring single triumphs (except for 15 September, when he scored twice), he raised his count to 19. He single-handedly destroyed five enemies, including one set afire. He shared victories in three cases of destroyed enemy craft. He sent down seven foes out of control, though two of those were shared victories. He aided in the capture of two enemy planes. He shot down one balloon by himself, and had help on a second. During World War II, Barton returned to service as an intelligence officer for the South African Air Force.
