Pilot Officer Walter Henry CORBET (41152).
In May, 1940, this officer was engaged on a bombing attack on enemy convoys when his aircraft was severely damaged by enemy gunfire. He was badly wounded in the foot and his observer was killed. In spite of his weakened condition he succeeded in flying back to his base and saving the air gunner and the aircraft.
