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.
He was promoted to acting Lieutenant-Commander 24 June, 1914.[3]
Longmore was promoted to acting Commander 5 January, 1915.[4]
