"This airman has displayed great keenness in his many operations against the enemy and has destroyed at least four of their aircraft. His enthusiasm and fighting spirit have been outstanding and this was particularly displayed on one occasion when, during a patrol, his aircraft was severely damaged through enemy action. With great presence of mind, and despite his aircraft being uncontrollable at the time, he warned his flight commander by radio telephone of the danger from a rear attack by enemy aircraft and almost certainly saved the commander from being shot down.
