Distinguished Flying Cross
Flight Lieutenant Christopher Smales BARTLETT (39928) No 216 Squadron.
One night in May, 1941, this officer carried out a flight which necessitated transporting a party of Royal Engineers and landing them beside a highly strategical railway bridge which it was intended to destroy. Much of the complete success of this daring and difficult operation CAN be attributed to the skill displayed by this officer. Flight Lieutenant Bartlett has also executed eleven successful night raids.
