owilki1984 Posted 25 February , 2007 Share Posted 25 February , 2007 Hi, I think this might be your guy. This article only mentions him but has him down as a British ACE. Its from the Times 02 September 1918 I cant find any other reference to a Major Blake on the Times archive Hope its your guy and gives you a snippit of info.
