He enlisted in the Worcestershire Regiment and after receiving his commission transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. The citation for his Military Cross reads "T./Capt. William Harold Nelson Shakespeare, RFC, was awarded the Military Cross for conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. He carried out a most successful contact patrol in very bad weather at a height of 400ft and brought back very valuable information. Later, he carried out another successful contact patrol at low altitude, his machine being subjected to intense rifle and machine-gun fire. He is a gallant and determined pilot and has set a fine example to his squadron." In 1918 he became one of the first Wing Commanders in the newly established Royal Air Force.Soon after the end of the War, he joined Handley Page for which he undertook the first trans European flight by a commercial aeroplane. In "Flight" (December 4, 1919) he posted from Athens "I have the pleasure to report the successful completion of the first civilian trans-Europe flight. I arrived at Athens after the most trying and unpleasant stage of the journey from London. Taking advantage of what seemed to be good weather at Valona, I left in the early morning and made quite good time under good conditions to Prevesa. "Shortly afterwards I landed at Tatoi, having done the journey from Valona in 4 and a half hours. This, I was afterwards told, was a record time. The people - Greek and English flying officers - were very surprised to see us as the weather had been practically impossible all day; in fact five minutes before we landed an RAF HP machine, securely picketed, had been picked up by the wind and been blown completely on its back, being a nasty mess of wreckage which was spread out in front of us. Needless to say after the buffeting I had received, I was greatly relieved to make our final landing; in fact we were all pleased with ourselves at the successful completion of this long journey, although it had taken longer than we expected. This fact was due to conditions over which neither I nor the mechanics had any control. Altogether, the machine had been out in six whole days' rain. The engines, with the attention they received stood very well "On the day fixed for the inspection by HM King of Greece the Press turned up in copious numbers. We initiated them into the mysteries of the HP and trans-Europe flight. "I did two flights of Press people over Athens, and all went home very pleased with the machine, the new 'sensation' and themselves. On these trips we did some pamphlet dropping over the city. "Saturday, November 1, was a memorable day, for HM King of Greece turned up and inspected the machine. He was greatly impressed, and finally I persuaded him to come up for a flight. Since that occasion His Majesty has had two further flights, the last trip being from Athens to Corinth".
