| Distinguished Flying Medal 1392381 Sergeant Roy James COOK, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No 625 Squadron. “This airman was the pilot of an aircraft detailed to attack Frankfurt one night in December, 1943. From the very beginning of his mission, one of the bomber’s engines partially lost power. Nevertheless, Sergeant Cook held to his course. When crossing the enemy coast, flames were bursting from the exhaust mainfold. Although he was unable to climb satisfactorily, Sergeant Cook persisted in his mission and eventually pressed home a successfull attack. This airman has undertaken numerous sorties and has always displayed praiseworthy skill and resolution.” FOURTH SUPPLEMENT to The LONDON GAZETTE of TUESDAY, the 4th of JANUARY 1944 | |||||||||||||||||||
