Nothing on his squadron (yet), but Cadet William Albert Wheeler was made a 2nd Lieutenant (on probation), General List, RFC, effective from 16 August 1917 and confirmed in that rank with effect from 7 February 1918.

Then, as per the SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE, 21 AUGUST, 1945

REGULAR ARMY.
EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS.
ROYAL REGIMENT OF ARTILLERY.
The undermentioned Cadets to be 2nd Lts.: —
8th July, 1945

935741 William Albert WHEELER (252725).

Probably not the same person, but an amazing coincidence nonetheless.
