Distinguished Flying Cross
Flying Officer Allan Benjamin ANGUS (40281).
This officer has shown great determination in taking every opportunity of engaging the enemy and pressing home his attacks. He took part in an inconclusive attack on a Junkers 88, which resulted in serious damage to the enemy aircraft. His own aircraft was hit and as a result he had to force land in Belgium. Acting on his own initiative he rejoined the squadron in a few hours. In May, while on patrol, he intercepted and shot down in flames a Heinkel in, and on the same patrol, took part in shooting down a second enemy aircraft of the same type, with Flying Officer Bavid.
