His plane became known for its nose art, representing The Laughing Cavalier. Glaser was promoted to Flight Lieutenant and in July 1940 transferred to No. 234 Squadron RAF as a flight commander. It was while serving with No. 234 that he was mistakenly shot down on 13 July 1940 by a Royal Navy warship off the English south coast. He was promoted to Pilot Officer in 1941.He became temporary commander of the squadron in October. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross in August 1942.

In 1946 he was awarded the Air Efficiency Award. After two years he returned home, was granted a permanent commission and posted to Linton-on-Ouse, Yorkshire. There he was flight commander of No. 64 Squadron RAF, a half-strength Hornet fighter squadron.In 1949 Glaser passed the Empire Test Pilots' School and became a test pilot at the Royal Aircraft Establishment.
