Distinguished Flying Cross. Warrant Officer Arthur Raymond NOSEDA (Aus.406029), Royal Australian Air Force, No. 105 Squadron. In December, 1942, Warrant Officer Noseda was pilot of one of a force of aircraft engaged in a low level daylight attack on a target in North-West Germany. During the operation, which was executed at a height of 1,000 feet, the leading aircraft was damaged by the intense anti-aircraft fire and lost speed owing to failure of one of its engines. Disdaining the prospect of attack by enemy fighters, Warrant Officer Noseda reduced the speed of his own aircraft and escorted his leader safely to base. This warrant officer has completed many operational sorties and has displayed outstanding courage and determination. Third Supplement of The London Gazette of tuesday, the 12st of JANUARY, 1943
