Taunton Elliott Viney DSO (14 November 1891 – 21 May 1916) was a pioneer of aerial warfare who served in the Royal Naval Air Service during World War I. He was credited with sinking a German submarine by dropping two 65 lb. bombs from his open-cockpit bi-plane on 28 November 1915. He was killed in action when his plane was shot down during an air raid on Ostend in May 1916. His body was recovered by the Germans who, although he had been fighting for their enemy, buried him with full military honours. Photographs of the funeral and military honour guard were dropped over France in a message cylinder.
