He gained his first aerial victory on 7 February, when he won the first clash between a Fokker Eindekker and the FE.2b by driving off the German aircraft with a smoking engine.{{sfnp|Guttman|Dempsey|2009|p=26}} By 6 September, he had run his score up to five,{{sfnp|Shores|Franks|Guest|1990|p=318}} becoming one of the 44 aces that would serve in No. 20 Squadron during the war.[7] He was awarded the Military Cross on 26 September,{{sfnp|Shores|Franks|Guest|1990|p=318}} and on 30 October he was appointed a flight commander with the temporary rank of captain.[8] In December he returned to England to serve as a flying instructor at an RFC base in Lincolnshire,[2] and was promoted to lieutenant on 1 January 1917.[9] On 16 October 1917, while instructing Second Lieutenant Cameron of Aberdeen, their aircraft crashed from a height of {{convert|900|ft}} and both men were killed.

Second Lieutenant Guy Patrick Spence Reid, Seaforth Highlanders and Royal Flying Corps. "For conspicuous skill and gallantry on many occasions. Capt. Dixon-Spain, with 2nd Lt. Reid as pilot, attacked and drove back a hostile machine. A few minutes later four hostile machines were seen, three of which were attacked one after another and driven back, the fourth being accounted for by another patrol. Another time they attacked two hostile machines, shot down one and drove the other back. Two days later they attacked two more machines, of which one is believed to have been destroyed, the other being pursued back to its aerodrome."[10] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/england/reid4.php |title=Guy Patrick Spence Reid |work=The Aerodrome |year=2015 |accessdate=4 December 2015}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news |title=Flying Officer's Sad End |newspaper=Essex Newsman |location=Essex, England |date=20 October 1917 |url=http://www.theaerodrome.com/images/aces/england/reid4_2.jpg |accessdate=4 December 2015}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.cwgc.org/find-war-dead/casualty/380729/REID,%20GUY%20PATRICK%20SPENCE |title=Casualty Details: Reid, Guy Patrick Spence |work=Commonwealth War Graves Commission |year=2015 |accessdate=4 December 2015}} 4. ^{{London Gazette |date=10 August 1915 |issue=29258 |page=7905 |nolink=yes}} 5. ^{{cite journal |url=https://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1915/1915%20-%200697.html |title=Aviators' Certificates |issue=351 |volume=VII |page=697 |journal=Flight |date=17 September 1915 |accessdate=4 December 2015}} 6. ^{{London Gazette |date=12 November 1915 |issue=29364 |pages=11206–11207 |nolink=yes}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.theaerodrome.com/services/gbritain/rfc/20.php |title=20 Squadron |work=The Aerodrome |year=2015 |accessdate=4 December 2015}} 8. ^{{London Gazette |date=10 November 1916 |issue=29818 |page=10858 |nolink=yes}} 9. ^{{London Gazette |date=27 March 1917 |issue=30002 |page=3003 |nolink=yes}} 10. ^{{London Gazette |date=26 September 1916 |supp=y |issue=29765 |pages=9429–9430 |nolink=yes}} Further reading
