"One night in January, 1944, Warrant Officer Evans piloted an aircraft detailed to attack Berlin. It was his 9th sortie against this objective. Shortly after leaving base it was discovered that the rear turret was unserviceable. Undeterred, Warrant Officer Evans went on to the target and executed a successful attack. On the following night he volunteered to take part in another attack on Berlin. Although engine trouble developed on the outward flight, Warrant Officer Evans completed the sortie successfully. He is a highly efficient captain, whose great skill, high courage and unswerving devotion to duty have set an example of the highest order."
