This officer has undertaken several sorties and has set a high example of tenacity and devotion to duty. These qualities were well evident on a recent occasion in an attack on Kassel. Soon after bombing the target, his aircraft was hit by shellfire. The windscreen was shattered and Flying Officer Jackson was injured about the face. His vision was impaired by particles of glass and blood from his facial injuries which filled his eyes. In spite of considerable pain and difficulty. Flying Officer Jackson flejwr his aircraft to base. His example was most encouraging.
