Robert Hall (RAF officer)

Captain Robert Norwood Hall (17 May 1890 – 28 April 1965) was a South African World War I flying ace credited with five aerial victories.

Hall tallied his first win on 24 April 1917, when he drove an enemy two-seater down out of control. On 7 May, he became a balloon buster by destroying three observation balloons on the same mission; Lieutenant Charles Cudemore shared credit on two of these. On 15 August, he destroyed an Albatros D.V for his last triumph. Upon return to Home Establishment, he served with No. 44 Squadron until at least May 1918.
