Recommendation (when he had flown sorties 32; flying hours 188):
"Pilot Officer Dunning has shown himself to be an excellent Air Gunner. His fine fighting spirit and keenness to operate against the enemy on all occasions have been most praiseworthy. On two separate occasions his aircraft has been attacked by two enemy fighters simultaneously. By his concise and accurate report to his Captain, successful combat 23/5/1952 were executed immediately which prevented damage to his aircraft; on both occasions Pilot Officer Dunning fired on the enemy aircraft and damaged them."
