Lieutenant Frederick Warrington Gillet (AKA: Ernest Sidney Tooker), Royal Air Force, was awarded the British Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism during World War I. When attacking a kite balloon, a two-seater guarding it advanced to engage him; Lieut. Gillett shot the machine down, and, turning to the balloon, which was being rapidly hauled down, he dropped two bombs at the winch and fired a drum into the balloon, which deflated but did not catch fire. In addition to this two-seater, this officer has accounted for two other machines and a kite balloon.
