Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM)

Period:: Second World War (1939-1945)
Rank:: Flight Sergeant
Unit:: No. 156 Squadron, Royal Air Force
Awarded on:: April 24th, 1942

One night in April, 1942, this airman was the wireless operator of an aircraft which attacked Cologne. During the attack, the second pilot was severely wounded in the stomach by a piece of shrapnel. In harassing circumstances, Flight Sergeant Brady immediately applied first-aid to his wounded comrade. Throughout the return journey, this airman's exceptional wireless skill was of the greatest assistance to his captain and contributed materially to the safe return of his aircraft. Flight Sergeant Brady displayed great courage and devotion to duty."
