"This airman was the pilot of an aircraft which attacked targets in Brunswick one night in January, 1944. Soon after leaving the target area the aircraft was intercepted by a fighter which attacked with much persistence. The bomber was hit in many places by the enemy's bullets. One engine was rendered useless, the front and midupper turrets were put out of action and the aircraft became filled with smoke. Nevertheless, Flight Sergeant Fogaty succeeded in evading the attacker. Although height was gradually lost on the homeward flight, Flight Sergeant Fogaty reached base where he effected a masterly landing. In very trying circumstances, this airman displayed great skill and coolness and set a very inspiring example."
