Group Captain Vincent has been observing his wing from the air and up to the end of September,1940, has made some dozen sorties alone. One day in September, 1940, he met 15 Dornier 215’s and turned them back, damaging one. Later in September, 1940, he destroyed one of a large enemy formation, and created so much confusion that another Messerschmitt 109 was shot down by its own pilots. He is a born leader and has brought the efficiency of his station to a very high level.”
