[edit]The following entry appeared in Flight on 27 April 1916:

In December, 1913, he was gazetted to the Royal Flying Corps, and was promoted Captain in October, 1914. He became Squadron-Commander in April, 1915, was mentioned in despatches in October, 1914, and on January 1st, 1915, was awarded the D.S.O. " for valuable information repeatedly furnished to the Royal Artillery in regard to the position of the enemy's guns. His direction of our artillery fire, whilst flying, has constantly led to direct hits on the enemy's batteries and the
silencing of their guns." Lieutenant-Colonel Lewis was married.
In other words, this article needs to be moved to "Donald Swain Lewis". --TraceyR (talk) 11:31, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
