Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox military person Group Captain Campbell Alexander Hoy (13 February 1893 – 9 March 1985) was a British flying ace during the First World War, credited with eleven aerial victories. He remained in the Royal Air Force post-war and served through the end of the Second World War.[1]
Early life
Campbell Alexander Hoy was born to Henry Hoy,[2] a chemist,[3] and Margaret Anne Reid, in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea.[3] He was living there in Campbell House during 1901. He attended Armstrong College, Newcastle, then a part of the University of Durham, from 1913 onwards.[2] On 15 January 1915, Cadet Lance-Corporal Hoy from the Durham University Contingent of the Officers Training Corps was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Northern Cyclist Battalion.[4]
Aerial service in the First World War
On 16 May 1917, he was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) as a flying officer (observer).[5] Both he and his pilot were injured when their aircraft, Royal Aircraft Factory FE.2d s/n A6366, was shot down by German ace August Hanko of Jagdstaffel 28 on 25 May 1917.[6] Hoy began his victory string over German Albatros D.V fighters on 29 June 1917. His next nine wins manning the guns in a Royal Aircraft Factory FE.2d came while he was teamed with Richard M. Trevethan. His last win was scored with Arthur Solly as his pilot, on the evening of 9 July 1918. Hoy's final tally was five Albatros D.V fighters destroyed and six driven down out of control.Шаблон:Refn[1][7]
On 25 August 1917, Hoy was promoted to lieutenant, with seniority from 1 June 1916.[8] As of 14 December 1917, he was appointed an assistant instructor in gunnery and classified as a 3rd class equipment officer.[9] On 23 January 1918, he was reclassified as a 2nd class equipment officer.[10]

On 2 September 1920, Hoy married Ena Olive Ball in Ickenham. The union would produce two children—Ena Bertha Margaret Hoy and Campbell Henry Alfred Hoy.[2]
