Air commodore James Stewart Wilson (4 September 1909 — 30 April 1994) was a Royal Air Force officer and Scotland international rugby union player.
Born in Dundee, Wilson attended Dundee High School and studied medicine at St. Andrew's University, where he captained the first XV.[1] He was a powerfully-built forward, gaining five Scotland caps over two years, which included a Calcutta Cup win in 1931.[2]
Wilson obtained his medical degree in 1933 and after a brief period as a surgeon at Dundee Royal Infirmary was posted to Aden with the Royal Air Force.[3] He later became an Air commodore.[4]
