Hugh Glanffrwd "Jimmy" James AFC & Bar, DFM (3 October 1922 – 7 January 2015) was a Welsh aviator and Royal Air Force (RAF) officer, who rose to the rank of squadron leader. His plane, a Bristol Bombay of No. 216 Squadron RAF (a slow transport plane flying a usually "safe" route), was shot down on 7 August 1942 while carrying Lieutenant-General William Gott to meet Churchill. The death of Gott led to Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery becoming the new commander of the Eighth Army and leading them in the Second Battle of El Alamein.
