From Wikipedia
Lieutenant Charles Robert Davidson (born 1896, Scotland, date of death unknown) was a World War I flying ace credited with six aerial victories. Davidson was posted to 14 Squadron in the Middle East in early 1917. He scored his first victory with them, driving
down an enemy observation plane out of control at Beit Hanum on 23 September 1917. He transferred to 111 Squadron when it was founded as the fighter unit for the Middle East, and scored his second win on 4 October. Davidson then upgraded to a two-seater Bristol F.2 Fighter, which he used for four more wins, between 17 and 29 December 1917. For one of these triumphs, fellow ace
Frederick John Knowles manned the guns in the rear seat. Davidson's final score was three enemy planes forced to land and then destroyed, and three driven down out of control. He left 111 Squadron on 9 January 1918, five days before he was awarded a Military Cross.
C.R.Davidson served in the Highland Light Infantry before transferring to the RFC for flight training.
