Rank:

Flight Lieutenant

Unit:

No. 21 Squadron, Royal Air Force (No. 21 Squadron, Royal Air Force)

Awarded on:

December 29th, 1944

Recommendation:
"F/L Willers has now completed his first tour of operational duty during which he has carried out 50 sorties.
These have been chiefly night attacks o enemy road and rail communications in and near the battle area and in addition two high level daylight and one low-level sortie. During all these sorties F/L Willers has shown great determination and has been successful in attacking trains and convoys on many occasions.
A notable sorties was on the 4th July when a train was attacked despite flak opposition and six coaches were set on fire. On the night of the 30th August he attacked a train near Abbeville and received flak damage to the port engine at a low altitude which necessitated feathering a propellor.
Despite much low cloud he managed with great skill to fly his machine to base and execute a masterly landing. This officer has completed a successful and long tour of concentrated operational flying and in my opinion well deserves a D.F.C."
