Special Duties]) each received a D.F.M. London Gazette 5th November 1940. |These airmen have been together as an aircraft crew since the outbreak of war. By mutual trust and co-operation in their duties they have produced a really first-class team which can be relied upon to complete any air operation allotted to them. Since 10th may 1940 this crew has flown in one day and eight night operations against the enemy sometimes in very difficult weather conditions. On each occasion the target was located and attacked and valuable reconnaissance information obtained. I consider that the fine service rendered by each of these airmen is most worthy of reward|.
