Ford Strathy came to Appleby in 1911. From the school history "The Appleby Story", "Strathy, a pilot, brought down his first German plane in a dog fight in the early morning of August 15, 1915. In a letter home to his mother; he described with pride the intricate maneuvering that the air battle called for." "On August 17, he took off on another mission, flying his familiar Camel. An hour later, two German planes attacked him. One came in from the front, the other dogged his tail. A hail of bullets caught Strathy's plane. The Camel fell from the sky and took Strathy to his death."
