July 1918 was for the newly formed RAF probably the most difficult month of the war.
7. July died in an air accident at that time the leading ace of the RAF, James McCudden (57 kills),
26. July died in combat leading the irish ace George McElroy (47 kills)
and about 5 days later, 31. July died and his mentor, the leading ace of the RAF, Edward "Mick" Mannock (61 victories).
Britain in the course of one month lost 3 of my best pilots.
A month earlier, had the australian air sky other increments, when during 5 days into it they left the two biggest australian aces.
27. may, died in the night prosecution of the most successful australian ace Robert And. Little (47 victories) and about 5 days later in the order of a second behind him, Roderic a "Tent" of Dallas (32-39 kills), who was killed in aerial combat 1. June..
