Capt. James Benjamin Evelyn Crosbee

James joined the R.F.C. and gained his flying certificate on 18 Jan 1816. On Sunday 4 March 1917, he was piloting a BE2 with Flight Seargent John E. Prance as observer. They were on a photo-reconnaissance mission north of Lens, when they suddenly came under attack by the notorious "Red Baron" Von Richthofen. Prance was hit, but carried on firing, while Lieut. Crosbee managed to out manouvre the Baron and just made it over the border.

Richthofen stated: "My adversary dived, but in such a steep way that I could not follow him. According to our infantry observations, the aeroplane crashed to the ground in front of our trenches."

This was the 22nd plane shot down by Richthofen, out of a total of 80.
Details from the book "Red Baron" by Peter Kilduff

The address on his military card is "The Shrubbery, Great Malvern". This was the home of his first wife's ancestors.
