Barber, Cyril Roaf (Flight Sub-Lieutenant)

Killed in Flying Accident 1918-January-07

Barber, together with his Observer, sub-Lt Harold Richard Easby (British), had left Dunkirk for a local flight, but at about 500-600ft came down in a spinning nosedive. There was little doubt that the two airmen were both killed at once. Their DH.4 had burst into flames on impact and was practically burnt out before anyone from the aerodrome reached the crash site over a mile away at Fort-Mardyck.
