Distinguished Flying Medal
CAN/R. 165361 Sergeant Donald Ralph McEvoY, R.C.A.F., 425 (R.C.A.F.) Sqn.
In June 1944, this airman was the Mid-upper gunner of an aircraft detailed to attack an enemy target. On the return flight the bomber was attacked by a fighter. Sergeant McEvoy defended his aircraft with great skill and his accurate bursts of fire caused the destruction of the attacker. Some nights later, Sergeant McEvoy shot down another enemy aircraft after a spirited fight. This airman has proved himself to be a gallant and determined member of aircraft crew.
