IVAN HIND
(d. 1918) British ace of World War I, a flight commander with 40 Squadron, flying the S.E.5a with eight kills. In an encounter with a Fokker D.VII on 25 July 1918, he shot down Josef Raesch of Jasta 43. Less than a month later, Hind was killed when he was shot down by Ernst Udet of Jasta 4. Rare partial war-date D.S., 1p. 12mo., [n.p., n.d., but ca. May 27, 1918], a portion of a battle report in which he describes firing 100 rounds into the tail of a 'Phaltz Scout' which then crashed 'near the dynamite factory E. of BILLY'. Signed at bottom a 'Liet.' Fine.
