Donald MacLaren was born in Ottawa but his family moved first to Calgary in 1899, then to Vancouver in 1911.
In 1912 MacLaren went to Montreal to study at McGill University.
In 1914 an illness forced him to abandon his studies and he returned to Vancouver.
After recovering MacLaren, his father and his brother opened a fur trading post at a remote point on the Peace River.
While there MacLaren learned to speak Cree.
In 1916 the family gave up the trading post to help in the war effort.
MacLaren's father was not allowed to join the army so he got a job with the Imperial Munitions Board.
His sons did enlist- Donald joining the Royal Flying Corps.
He did his initial training at 90 Central Training School at Armour Heights and then at Camp Borden in Ontario, then finally received further training in England at No. 43 Training School, Ternhill.

In September he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
When the squadron commander was killed in a crash later in the year MacLaren was given command.

MacLaren claimed 1 aircraft shared captured, 5( and 1 shared) balloons destroyed, 15( and 6 shared) aircraft destroyed, and 18( and 8 shared) aircraft' down out of control'.
This was despite the fact that his first dogfight was n't until February 1918 and that he scored all his victories in only nine months.
Among others, he probably shot down ace Mieczysław Garsztka on 2 October 1918( shared with James Leith and Cyril Sawyer)
When he left hospital he was attached to the newly formed Royal Canadian Air Force and was in command of the Canadian pilots in England as they were transferred to the new air force.

He returned to England in February 1920 but resigned from the RCAF later that year.
He returned to Canada and formed Pacific Airways which was eventually acquired by Western Canada Airways.
He died on 4 July 1988, aged 95.
Having downed all of his 54 victories in the Sopwith Camel, he's the most successful pilot in the type.
He served in 46 Squadron RFC/ RAF alongside VM Yeates, the author of the seminal World War I novel" Winged Victory" in which Tom Cundall, the main protagonist's flight commander is a Canadian called" Mac".
