Last Canadian WW1 fighter pilot dies

From the AP:

Henry Botterell, the last of Canada's World War I fighter pilots, has died. He was 106. . .

He was one of the estimated 15 remaining Canadian veterans of World War I, and the Department of Veteran Affairs considered him the last fighter pilot from the 1914-1918 conflict.

UPDATE: This article states that Botterell may indeed have been the last surviving pilot of any nation to have seen action in the Great War.
