Benton county native Field Kindley, in his final action near Bapaume, France, made his twelfth kill, a Fokker. Kindley was the recipient of the British Distinguished Flying Cross and an Oak Leaf Cluster for the American Distinguished Service Cross, and he ranked third in number of aircraft downed for the United States Army Air Service in World War I.
