Sydney A. Oades
Sydney Arthur Oades (27 September 1890 – 13 January 1961) was a British World War I flying ace credited with 11 official aerial victories.
==World War I==
Oades enlisted into the Royal Engineers on 14 September 1915, serving as a sapper.〔 He transferred to the Royal Flying Corps, and on 15 May 1917 was commissioned a temporary second lieutenant, and confirmed in his rank on 22 June.
By late 1917, he was posted to No. 22 Squadron as a Bristol F.2 Fighter pilot. On 27 October, he and his observer drove a German Rumpler reconnaissance aircraft down out of control for Oades' first aerial victory. He then teamed with John Jones for his next two wins; on both 5 and 6 December, they destroyed German reconnaissance aircraft. With a different observer manning the rear guns, he drove down an Albatros D.V north of Roulers, Belgium on 6 January 1918. Oades then crewed up with Stanton Bunting; the new pair began a run of seven successes on 30 January 1918 by driving down a German reconnaissance aircraft to make Oades an ace. On 17 February, they destroyed an Albatros D.V; the next day, they drove down another out of control. On the 26th, in two separate engagements, they burned an Albatros D.V and drove a second one down. On 5 March 1918, they destroyed two more German aircraft in an action that saw both RFC crewmen wounded. By now, Bunting was also an ace, though an undecorated one. Oades, on the other hand, would receive a Military Cross in April for his exploits. Oades was injured in an aircraft crash on 13 March 1918; he would not score another victory.〔
