Lt. Patrick Hassett

Can anyone help with info. on Lt. Patrick Hassett WW1 British
pilot ?. After WW1 he flew aircraft for the Paraguayan loyalists
during the civil war in Paraguay (1922- 1923) along with other mercenary
pilots ( including Italian ace Cosimo Rizzotto ). Flying an Italian Ansaldo
aircraft he took part in the first air combat over South American soil
and also claimed the first air to air victory over S/America.

Has anyone any info. on his service in the Royal Flying Corps / RAF.

Cheers,
Alan.
