These sorties included raids on some of the most heavily defended targets in Germany and several in France. On each occasion this officer has displayed exceptional ability, speed and efficiency in his work, and at all times his courage, devotion to duty and leadership has been of the highest order, setting an outstanding example to members of his own crew and the squadron as a whole."
