\n Flying Officer John Colin Mclntosh ROSE (Aus. 401249), Royal Australian Air Force, No. 103 Squadron.<\/em><\/span>
\n This captain of aircraft has taken part in many operational sorties and has shown courage and determination to press home his attacks regardless of the difficulties and opposition encountered. On one occasion, when over enemy territory, his air\u00adcraft was attacked by a Junkers 88. By skilful tactics he evaded the attacked, at the same time man\u0153uvring his aircraft to enable his gunners to fire and severely damage the enemy aircraft. On two other occasions he has flown his aircraft back to home base and successfully landed with 1 engine out of action. Flying Officer Rose’s fine fighting spirit and personal example have been a constant source of inspiration to all his squadron.<\/em><\/span>
