"This officer led his flight with determination over completely strange
country during operations in the Narvik area. He discovered and set on
fire, two four-engined enemy flying boats which were concealed against
the almost vertical side of Rombaksfjord, in a position most difficult
to attack. No trace of them was found during a reconnaissance shortly
afterwards. The following morning he destroyed a Junkers 88 over
Ofotfjord. During the previous seven months he has led his flight with
skill and determination, both by day and by night, often in extremely
bad weather conditions. His example has been an inspiration to the rest
of the squadron." from his Distinguished Flying Cross citation that was also the same actions that lead him receiving the War Cross on October 1st, 1943 as Wing Commander of No. 11 Group.
Another deadly ally!
