Loss unexplained | Evader | DFC awarded whilst with 115 Sqn, Gazetted 26th June 1942. Citation reads "Pilot Officer Henry George A'COURT (46901), No. 115 Squadron. This officer was captain of an aircraft detailed to attack Bremen one night in June, 1942. Shortly after passing the Dutch coast the aircraft was attacked by a Junkers 88. The port wing and the hydraulic system were damaged, and the running of the port engine was impaired. By skilful manoeuvring Pilot Officer A'Court evaded his pursuer and proceeded to Bremen to complete hi& mission. When approaching the target, his, aircraft received further damage by antiaircraft fire; the starboard wing petrol tanks were also holed which caused an alarming, loss of petrol. With calm determination Pilot Officer A'Court decided that there was just a chance that he might be able to reach this country. After a hazardous journey he reached his base when the engines stopped through lack of petrol and he was compelled to land with the undercarriage retracted. This officer showed fine determination in fulfilling his mission after his aircraft had been so badly damaged, and his skill, courage and presence of mind during the return journey undoubtedly saved the lives of his crew." Bar to DFC awarded whilst with 109 Sqn, as an acting Sqn Ldr., gazetted 21st September, 1945. MiD gazetted on the 14th January 1944 | |||||||||
