Edward Gracie, DFC (21 September 1911 – 15 February 1944) was a British flying ace who served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. He was credited with having shot down at least seven aircraft.
Born to Acton, London, Gracie joined the RAF in 1930 but was dismissed from the service three years later. Rejoining as an officer in the reserve, he was called up for service upon the outbreak of the Second World War. He briefly flew in the Battle of France in May 1940 and, flying with No. 56 Squadron, was heavily engaged in the subsequent Battle of Britain during which he achieved his first aerial victories, until he broke his neck in a crash landing at the end of August. Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross later in the year, in 1941 he commanded No. 23 Squadron and then No. 601 Squadron.
Gracie was sent to Malta in early in 1942, ferrying a Supermarine Spitfire fighter to the island. Here he commanded No. 126 Squadron during the intensive bombing campaign waged by the German and Italian air forces against Malta. After briefly leading the Takali Fighter Wing he returned to the United Kingdom in July. He commanded No. 169 Squadron from October 1943 until his death over Hanover on 15 February 1944. He was posthumously mentioned in despatches.
