He was flying in the mid-upper turret on the nights 29/30 July, 15th/16th August and 28th/29th August 1942. On the night of the 28th/29th August 1942 after a second attack from an Me 110, he took over immediately from Sgt McGown, the rear gunner, and by his quick and accurate fire, shot pieces of the Me110 which dived out of control and exploded. On the night of 29th/30th July 1942, Sgt Agg fired with Sergeant McGown and again fired the “coup de grace”. Sergeant Agg has always taken part in the running commentary and has been very quick to take over from Sergeant McGown. His shooting has always been accurate and has been instrumental in destroying two enemy aircraft. He is extremely painstaking and conscientious in daily inspections and ground work and realises that gunnery success in the air depend to a great extent on good work on the ground. He has merited the confidence of his Captain and crew and is recommended for the award of the DFM. Sergeant Agg has carried out 18 night sorties involving 80 operational hours.”Remarks of the Station Commander: “The meticulous care with which Sergeant Agg has maintained his turret and guns on the ground and his courage, coolness and accurate shooting have shown that he is an Air Gunner of the very first type. He is an inspiration to all Air Gunners and I recommend him for an immediate award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.”Warrant Officer Richard William Agg joined the RAF in August 1940 and volunteered for Aircrew, being selected as a Wireless Operator / Air Gunner.
