Lt. Campbell First American Ace

Lieutenant Douglas Campbell '17, of Mount Hamilton, Calif., has won his fifth air battle, according to a recent dispatch from the American Army in France, thus becoming the first ace developed solely under our flag. His last encounter was on last Friday. Lieutenant Campbell, on finding that his adversary had run out of ammunition, signalled him to surrender. The German refused, and was brought down within the American lines.

Lieutenant Campbell brought his first German airplane down on April 15 inside the American lines and received the French war cross. His second was brought down on May 21 and his third and fourth within the last two weeks.
