“One night in May 1944, Flying Officer Ellis piloted an aircraft detailed to attack Hasselt. On the outward flight the aircraft was engaged by a fighter and sustained damage before the enemy aircraft was driven off. Although one engine was useless and the port mainplane had received damage Flying Officer Ellis went on to the target which he attacked with his usual determination. This officer, who is now on his second tour, has displayed exceptional keenness, great skill and courage.”
