Can you name this ace?

"Apart from that he was different. He seemed too cocky for his experience, which was nil. New men usually took their time and listened to the more experienced hands. He was the complete opposite and offered ideas about everything; even the role of scout pilots and what was wrong with aeroplanes. He seemed a boorish know-all."

Any idea as to whom the above quote is referring to?

Cryptically yours,
Capt. Lewis
