It would just be AIR 1|FRONTS|1529|FRONTS|204|FRONTS|72|FRONTS|1 thro |FRONTS|3 probably, as Shaw was RTU|Q|ed in late May 1916, and file |FRONTS|4 is for June 1916. The other refs you sent are RNAS and he certainly wasn|Q|t with them. Before becoming a KB observer and KB Section Commander, Shaw was a Captain in the West Riding Territorials (from pre|MINUS|war) and thus Army. Also, his service pre|MINUS|dates the formation of KB Wings, and he was RTU|Q|ed before any of these were formed.|LEFT|br |FRONTS||RIGHT||LEFT|br |FRONTS||RIGHT|Another oddity I|Q|ve discovered about Shaw is that his AIR 76 file is listed under the name |LEFT|b|RIGHT|Francis Harold|LEFT||FRONTS|b|RIGHT| Shaw and the personal details are incorrect, but the record of transfers etc. are spot on! It seems that some clerk at the time made a monumental howler and added his details to someone else|Q|s record, or duplicated the Shaws as there was an Airman by the name in the RFC as well. My man|Q|s real name was |LEFT|b|RIGHT|Frank Hubert|LEFT||FRONTS|b|RIGHT| Shaw, the well|MINUS|known (at the time) author of sailing and maritime books.
