Air Chief Marshal SIR Arthur Murray Longmore, G.C.B., D.S.O., Royal Air Force (8 October, 1885 – 10 December, 1970) was an early aviation pioneer who served in the Royal Navy and Royal Naval Air Service before attaining high rank in the Royal Air Force.
Early Life & Career
He was made a Lieutenant on 30 December, 1907.[1]
Longmore started his Royal Naval service with a typical series of commands of torpedo boats. It is possible that it was he who invented the Longmore Disc for Torpedo Directors.[Fact Check]
However, his mind was set on the air, and he was appointed to Wildfire on 11 March, 1911 for a six month course in aviation.[2]
Longmore was to become one of the first four in the Royal Navy to be selected for training as a pilot.
On 15 January, 1914, he was appointed in command of Calshot Naval Air Station, being designated an Acting Lieutenant-Commander on 24 June.[3]
The Great War
Longmore was promoted to Wing Commander on the 31 of December 1914, and to acting Commander on 5 January, 1915. He quit Calshot on 12 January, 1916 and was appointed to Tiger as a Lieutenant-Commander, staying with her until 6 June.[4]
He was appointed to President in command of Royal Naval Air Station Killingholme on 15 June, 1916 with the rank of Wing Commander.
Post War
He was granted a permanent commission in the Royal Air Force on 1 August, 1919.[5]
