Well I got another gong, but only after another air battle, which will be the subject of the next report:
I do wonder, though, if someone at the Air Ministry is trying to palm me off onto the Army, awarding me an MC instead of a bar to my DFC, or even a DSO. It's not like the pen-pushers in Whitehall to make a boob like issuing a RAF type like me a medal intended for the Brown Jobs, or at least, for ground-based efforts. Still, mustn't complain - at least it shows my efforts are appreciated!
