He joined the RAFVR in February 1938.
On 1st July 1939, Tony joined the Tigers for advanced training after leaving 6 E & RFTS. He flew with the Squadron in the battles over France, many times as Malan’s wingman.

Tony Mould was shot down over the French coast two days later on the 24th but managed to return to England by boat.

Tony shot down an Me109 over Elham on 8th July 1940. It was the first German fighter aircraft to fall on British soil.

At just after 11.00 o’clock on the morning of Wednesday 10th July, the first day of the Battle of Britain, Tony himself became one of the first casualties of the battle when he had to force land his Spitfire P9446 at Manston after sustaining damage in a fight with Me 109s over the Channel near Dover. He was unhurt and the aircraft was repairable.

Tony was shot down and wounded by Bf.109s of JG 51 off Dover on 28th July while flying No 2 to John Freeborn in the same combat which saw Sergeant Tim Eley and Pilot Officer Harold Gunn killed. He managed to bale out wounded from his blazing aircraft and was taken to Dover Military Hospital. His Spitfire, P9336, crashed on the roof of Buckland Mill north of Dover and was written off.

Tony Mould was commissioned to the rank of Pilot Officer in May 1941 but did not survive the war. He was killed while flying a de Havilland Mosquito with 85 Squadron escorting a raid over Europe on 20th January 1943. He was then aged 26.
