\nFlying Officer Johann Walter EINARSON, D.F.M. (CAN<\/span>\/J.17276), Royal Canadian Air Force, No. 61 Squadron.<\/span><\/em>
\nThis officer has completed a very large number of sorties, including 5 attacks on Berlin. On the last occasion, one night in November, 1943, his aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire and sustained damage. Nevertheless, Flying Officer Einarson pressed home his attack. Soon after the bombs had been released, the aircraft was struck. The starboard wing tip and part of the aileron were torn away and the aircraft went into a steep dive. Flying Officer Einarson succeeded in regaining control, however, and afterwards flew safely to an airfield in this country. Throughout his tour of operations, this officer has invariably displayed a high degree of skill, courage and determination.<\/span><\/em>
