  • Queenslander Over The Western Front

Additional Information

“Queenslander over the Western Front” is an original oil on canvas painting featuring top scoring WWI Australian Ace Roderic “Stanley” Dallas in his Sopwith Triplane, encountering an Albatross DIII over the Western Front in the spring of 1917.

Born on July 30th 1891 at Mount Stanley in South East Queensland, Stan Dallas joined the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) in June 1915 and was transferred to No.1 Naval Wing at Dunkirk in December 1915. He scored his first victory on February 20th 1916. Stan’s score rose steadily and in September he transitioned to the new Sopwith Triplane which he is credited with helping to develop. By the the end of January 1917 his score had risen to 10. Then in “Bloody April” of the same year he personally shot down 12 enemy aircraft, bringing his score to 23.
