D'Arcy Fowlis Hilton

Lieutenant D'Arcy Fowlis Hilton was a Canadian-born American World War I flying ace credited with eight aerial victories.

Early life D'Arcy Fowlis Hilton was the son of Francis Alfred and Isabel Grace Milligan Hilton. Though born in Canada, he called Michigan home; he also lived in Youngstown, New York.

On 28 January 1914, he married Gladys Caroline Woodruff in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada. They separated in 1916, after a son was born, and he went to England and joined the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) in November. He was commissioned a second lieutenant on 21 November 1916. Following his tour of combat, Fowler became a flight instructor in both England and Canada, and earned the Air Force Cross in the process.

Post war Gladys Caroline Woodruff sued him for divorce via act of legislature in 1922. He was then estranged from his family until early in World War II when his son was killed in aerial combat.
