Squadron Leader Harold Morley Starr bailed out of his burning Hurricane during the Battle of Britain in 1940 but was gunned to death by a Messerschmitt as he floated down to earth, aged just 25.

Wing Commander Norman John Starr DFC and BAR was 27 was shot down and killed whilst piloting an Avro Anson over Dunkirk in 1945.
