Cockburn-Lange fraud picture of a WWI dog fight In 1931, Wesley Archer, a pilot in No 40 Sqn RAF who had been wounded some time in 1918, perpetrated a hoax (really a fraud) that went unrecognised for years. The pictures first appeared in January 1931 (supplied by Mrs. Gladys Cockburn-Lange, reputedly the remarried widow of a British Royal Flying Corps officer shot down in France.)
