Robert William Hanmer Everett, DSO (29 May 1901 – 26 January 1942) was a British jockey and World War II pilot. In 1929, on Gregalach, he won the prestigious steeplechase the Grand National and in 1941 as a Fleet Air Arm pilot, he achieved the first "kill" by a rocket-launched fighter, shooting down a long-range Focke-Wulf Fw 200 "Condor" over the Atlantic. For this hazardous success, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO). Knowledge of Everett's life is fragmentary, with just a few notable events.
