Early Life and Education

Oliver Stewart recently won a Prime Minister’s Oranga Tamariki Award and hopes to use his success to help others. As 2021 Kamo High School Prefect, an aspiring photographer is hoping to inspire members of his community with his photography.

At age 17, his passion for aviation was ignited upon visiting the Hendon Air Show. According to his memoirs, both aircraft and fashionable women mesmerized him, inspiring him to pursue both passions throughout his life.

After graduating from Eureka College, Stewart entered church service and was actively engaged in evangelistic work. Additionally, he held office with Illinois Christian Endeavour Union, Chautauqua platforms and lecture platforms before being elected to Illinois legislature on Prohibition ticket in 1902.

Professional Career

Oliver is a strategy consultant specializing in helping companies incorporate social and environmental goals into their business models. He holds a Masters in Manufacturing Engineering, and enjoys helping people.

He began his military career as an officer with the King’s Royal Rifle Corps, seeing action both in India in 1891-92 and Chitral during 1895. For this service he was recognized with the Distinguished Service Order award in 1897.

Stewart joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) in January 1917 and was assigned to 22 Squadron, flying photographic escort missions using Sopwith Pup or Scout aircraft – hazardous sorties which exposed Stewart and 22 Squadron to enemy anti-aircraft fire as well as fighter aircraft pursuing them from France.

Achievement and Honors

INSA is honored to recognize General Stewart for his distinguished 38-year career in intelligence and national security, including leading USCYBERCOM development. His accomplishments serve as a fitting tribute to the William Oliver Baker Award dinner’s mission – honoring excellence within U.S. intelligence and national security activities.

In 1917 Stewart began flying photographic escort missions for 54 Squadron in a Sopwith Pup – a slow moving biplane which attracted heavy German anti-aircraft fire and attracted fighter attacks from enemy aircraft – but he persevered through “Bloody April” despite its introduction of superior German aircraft, eventually earning himself promotion to flight lieutenant status.

At Martlesham Heath, he became acquainted with some of the greats in British aircraft manufacture including Frederick Handley Page, Oswald Short and AV Roe. Additionally, he wrote authoritatively on air combat as well as its social and emotional repercussions of modern war.

He managed to escape camp life through purchasing a motorcycle, enabling him to pursue another passion: women. His memoirs offer insight into the breaking down of social and moral barriers across Britain and France in 1917.

Net Worth

Oliver still faces immigration difficulties despite marrying an American, yet his earnings from television shows and endorsement deals place him among the world’s wealthiest comedians.
