Frederick Joseph Rutland, DSC & Bar, AM (21 October 1886 – 28 January 1949) was a British pioneer of naval aviation. A decorated pilot in the First World War, he earned the nickname "Rutland of Jutland" for his exploits at the Battle of Jutland in 1916.[2] He later worked for the Japanese and was interned by the British authorities during the Second World War.

Rutland killed himself in 1949.[3]
