Biography

Carter was the highest scoring ace to serve with 19 Squadron. On 19 May 1918, he was captured behind enemy lines after his Sopwith Dolphin was shot down by Paul Billik of Jasta 52. Shortly after the war ended, he was killed in a flying accident while testing a Fokker D.VII.

Carter's Croix de Guerre and Distinguished Service Order are on display at the Fort Beauséjour Museum in Aulac, New Brunswick, Canada.
