- Le lieutenant-colonel William George Barker était un as de l'aviation canadienne au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Né dans la ferme familiale à Dauphin dans le Manitoba, "Will" Barker grandit en tant que garçon de ferme. Il n'était pas particulièrement intéressé par l'école et passait le plus clair de son temps à monter à cheval et à chasser. Son intérêt pour le tir se renforça alors qu'il était adolescent et de ce fait il dépensait la majeure partie de son argent de poche en munitions. Il devint un tireur de talent, s'entraînant sur des distances multiples aux alentours de Dauphin ou Winnipeg. Sa famille déménagea à Winnipeg peu de temps avant que la Première Guerre mondiale ne commence.
- Nella prima parte del conflitto fu tra i fucilieri a cavallo; in seguito venne trasferito nella Royal Flying Corps dove cominciò come meccanico. Si specializzò come osservatore e nell'agosto del 1916 abbatté il suo primo aereo dal sedile posteriore di un Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2d. Ritornato in Inghilterra per seguire i corsi da pilota fece il suo primo volo solista dopo soli 55 minuti di istruzione. Ottenne il brevetto di pilota nel gennaio del 1917. Nel novembre del 1917 la sua squadriglia fu riassegnata in Italia, dove il Sopwith Camel di William Barker divenne in assoluto l'aereo che conquistò più vittorie in tutto il conflitto. Il 27 ottobre 1918 mentre pattugliava le linee con il suo nuovo Sopwith Snipe, Barker, incontrò un gruppo di sessanta Fokker D. VII. In un'epica battaglia con i piloti dello Jagdgeschwader 3 Barker riuscì ad abbattere 4 caccia tedeschi. Ferito ad entrambe le gambe e al gomito, e praticamente dissanguato Barker riuscì comunque a posare lo Snipe oltre le linee francesi. Per questa azione, unica nella storia, William Barker fu insignito della Victoria Cross.
- William George Barker – kanadyjski pilot, jeden z najlepszych kanadyjskich asów myśliwskich okresu I wojny światowej. Odniósł 50 zwycięstw powietrznych. Latał najpierw w 9. , a później w 4, 15, 28, 66 Eskadrze RFC, następnie 139 i 201 Eskadrze RAF. Był najsłynniejszym pilotem, który latał na samolocie Sopwith Camel. William Barker wsławił się tym, że pilotowany przez niego Sopwith Camel (numer B6313) był najskuteczniejszą maszyną myśliwską w historii RAF-u, zestrzeliwując 46 samolotów i balonów obserwacyjnych w ciągu jednego roku od września 1917 do września 1918, w misjach o łącznym czasie 404 godzin. Ostatnie cztery zwycięstwa Barker odniósł na myśliwcu Sopwith Snipe - wszystkie w jednym locie 27 października 1918, za co został odznaczony najwyższym brytyjskim odznaczeniem - Krzyżem Wiktorii (sam został podczas tej walki ranny). Pod koniec lat dwudziestych popadł w alkoholizm i zginął w katastrofie lotniczej na samolocie Fairchild KR-21.
