R.A.F.’s LOSSES
Two Brothers Killed in Action
Two brothers, both of whom had shot down six German aircraft and damaged several others, are reported killed in action in the Air Ministry’s casualty list, No. 46, issued to-day. It contains the names of 314 officers and airmen.
The brothers, both of whom had received the D.F.C., were Pilot Officer C. A. Woods-Scawen and Flying Officer P. P. Woods-Scawen. Both were born at Karachi. It is believed that they had flown together.
C. A. Woods-Scawen was born in 1918, and his award was announced on September 3, when it was stated that in June he was shot down 25 miles inside French territory but got back to his squadron. Up to then he had been shot down six times, and tribute was paid to his “unabated courage and enthusiasm” and his outstanding qualities as a resourceful and determined leader. P. P . Woods-Scawen was born in 1916, and when his D.F.C. was awarded in June it was stated that once when heavily outnumbered he attacked a large formation of Germans with hesitation and shot two down. His ‘plane was hit and he was slightly wounded, but he escaped by parachute and rejoined his unit. It was added that he had shown “great courage, endurance, and leadership”.
The list gives a total of 49 officers and airmen killed in action and 48 wounded or injured. Those missing total 85. The number killed on active service is 48, Of ten previously reported missing three are now safe and seven are prisoners. A sergeant of the Royal New Zealand Air Force is reported missing and two pilot officers were killed on active service.
The names of nine D.F.C.s, one A.F.C., and one D.F.M are included in the list.

Two Brothers Killed in Action
Two brothers, both of whom had shot down six German aircraft and damaged several others, are reported killed in action in the Air Ministry’s casualty list, No. 46, issued to-day. It contains the names of 314 officers and airmen.
The brothers, both of whom had received the D.F.C., were Pilot Officer C. A. Woods-Scawen and Flying Officer P. P. Woods-Scawen. Both were born at Karachi. It is believed that they had flown together.
C. A. Woods-Scawen was born in 1918, and his award was announced on September 3, when it was stated that in June he was shot down 25 miles inside French territory but got back to his squadron. Up to then he had been shot down six times, and tribute was paid to his “unabated courage and enthusiasm” and his outstanding qualities as a resourceful and determined leader. P. P . Woods-Scawen was born in 1916, and when his D.F.C. was awarded in June it was stated that once when heavily outnumbered he attacked a large formation of Germans with hesitation and shot two down. His ‘plane was hit and he was slightly wounded, but he escaped by parachute and rejoined his unit. It was added that he had shown “great courage, endurance, and leadership”.
The list gives a total of 49 officers and airmen killed in action and 48 wounded or injured. Those missing total 85. The number killed on active service is 48, Of ten previously reported missing three are now safe and seven are prisoners. A sergeant of the Royal New Zealand Air Force is reported missing and two pilot officers were killed on active service.
The names of nine D.F.C.s, one A.F.C., and one D.F.M are included in the list.
