RECOMMENDATION FOR THE AWARD OF THE DISTINGUISHED FLYING MEDAL
TO 900473 Flight Sergeant Charles William EYLES, No. 35 Sqn.
Gazetted 14th November, 1944. Sorties 51, Operational Hours 273. Air Bomber
Flight Sergeant Eyles has recently operated in a Master Bomber and Visual Marker crew as Visual Bomb Aimer. That he is reliable and accurate is proved by the photographs he has obtained. He has participated in 51 attacks by day and by night and many of these sorties have been against heavily defended targets. This N.C.O. still shows the keenest desire to operate and his efficiency and cheerfulness is an inspiration to his fellow aircrew. In recognition of Flight Sergeant Eyles' long record of service, he is recommended for the non-immediate award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.
20th August, 1944.
[underlined] Remarks by Station Commander. [/underlined]
I concur. Strongly recommended for the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal (non-immediate).
