Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document [picture] [crest] "WHITLEY" BOMBER Long-range Bomber, capable of carrying very large load of bombs Rolls Royce 1,030 H.P. Merlin Engines. 245 M.P.H. Range 1,250 miles Maurice Moon of 58 Sqdn. [photograph] PLAYERS CIGARETTES [crest] No. 35 (BOMBER) SQUADRON R.A.F. He gave up rank to bomb again Cheshire: 3rd D.S.O. WING-COMMANDER GEOFFREY LEONARD CHESHIRE has won his third D.S.O. Last year, at 25, he became the R.A.F.'s youngest Group Captain – and then gave up the rank to fly on operations again. By last June he had made 64 bombing trips. He was a leader of the 1,000-plane blitz on Cologne, and in January last year told the story of his seventh Berlin raid. To fly again he surrendered command of his bomber station to lead a squadron. He has led it, says the citation, "with notable success." In the summer of 1941 he went to Canada to ferry back a bomber and visited New York where he met and married Constance Binney, the actress. He has written the story of his flights in "Bomber Pilot." Two other wing commanders head this morning's awards. They get the D.F.C. They are John Balmer, O.B.E., Australian, who has flown over New Guinea as well as Germany, and Anthony Heward, A.F.C., who flew in France at the beginning of the war.
