Obituary
Members will regret to learn of the death of Major Edgar Amm, younger brother of 'P.D.,' known at school as 'Porkey.'
Immediately on leaving school he joined the army and went to England early in 1918. He seconded to the R.A.F. and early in July, 1918, went to France and where he flew the S.E. V Scouting Machine. He was a fearless pilot and was officially recorded as having brought down 15 enemy machines over the Western Front. For his exploits he received the D.F.C. and Bar, and the Belgium Croix de Guerre. He was shot down on November 8, 1918, and was taken prisoner; on November 24 he escaped on a bicycle and got back to headquarters.
After the war ended he was asked by Sir Pierre van Ryneveld to accompany him on the "Silver Queen," but refused the honour because he had promised his father not to fly again when the war ended.
On his return to South Africa he took up farming but when World War II broke out he joined the S.A.A.F. After training young airmen, he went to Egypt and the Middle East, and saw service in Italy.
After the war he sold his farms and founded the South Coast Aviation Co. He later became manager of Valencia Estates at Letaba, and after several years he was appointed the general manager of Tzaneen Citrus Co-Operative Society at Politsi.
Well loved and a man of very high character he will be missed by those who knew him. He leaves a widow and three children.
