"Sergt. McPhee has completed many operational sorties. By his fine fghting spirit and coolness under fire, he has set a magnificent example to the rest of his crew.

On one occasion the aircraft in which this airman was flying encountered very heavy oppositon and his skillful navigation contributed largely to its safe return to base. Sergt. McPhee's outstanding ability, strong sense and splendid record of achievement are the highest praise."
