Early life

Frederick Dudley Travers was born in York, England on 15 February 1897. World War I

Travers served initially in the Hertfordshire Yeomanry of the Territorial Force, rising to the rank of lance corporal. He graduated from Inns of Court Officers Training Corps and was commissioned as a second lieutenant on 1 January 1916.

He was promoted to lieutenant in the Yeomanry on 1 July 1917, but remained seconded to the Royal Flying Corps.

Travers received the Croix de guerre with Palme on 2 November 1918. He also received the Distinguished Flying Cross, which was gazetted on 29 November 1918:

"A gallant and able officer who has displayed on many occasions boldness in attack, never hesitating to engage the enemy as opportunity occurs. On June 1st he, in company with two other pilots, attacked a hostile formation of twelve machines; four off these were shot down and the remainder driven off." List of aerial victories

On 5 December 1919, he was granted a short service commission as a Flying Officer. Travers transferred to the Class A Reserve of the Royal Air Force on 5 December 1922. He kept his reserve status in various capacities until 5 December 1940, when he was ranked as a Flight Lieutenant. Career in civil aviation

Travers began his civil aviation career as an air taxi pilot. On 20 February 1924, he was elected to membership in the Royal Aero Club.

In 1926, he began flying for Imperial Airways; he pioneered air service to Egypt for them that year. Flying from Heliopolis, he opened air routes between Cairo, Baghdad, and Basra.

In 1929, Flight magazine noted that Travers, as senior pilot of the Middle East Division of Imperial Airways had made the first air mail flights to and from India. World War II and beyond

During World War II, Travers continued in civil aviation; however, he was piloting flying boats from the United Kingdom to India and West Africa. By 1942, Travers was noted as having flown two million air miles.

As part of his sovereign's birthday honours for 1944, Captain Travers was commended for "valuable service in the air" while employed by British Overseas Airways Corporation.

By late 1945, Travers was ferrying a Short Sunderland flying boat to Buenos Aires for Company Dodero Navigation Argentina SA shipping lines.

In early May 1947, Travers was feted at a BOAC luncheon banquet hosted by Lord Knollys to celebrate Travers' retirement from the company after 30 years flying. It was noted that in his 19,000 flying hours, he had never had an accident. Travers' retirement plans included work on development of the Saunders-Roe flying boat.

On 10 February 1954, Frederick Dudley Travers surrendered his commission in the Royal Air Force Reserve of Officers. In his retirement, he made his home in Kenya. He was still alive and available for an interview with famed aviation historian Norman Franks as late as 1968.
