TAIT dropped the bombs
[photograph]
Express Staff Reporter
WING – COMMANDER JAMES BRYAN TAIT, D.S.O. and two bars, D.F.C., who led the attack on the Tirpitz, has been bombing the Germans since the first days of the war.
"He is 28 and has been flying for 10 years," his father, Mr. A. Tait, a mining engineer, of Abercynon, South Wales, said last night.
"When I took him to see the Schneider Trophy race in 1928 he decided to make flying his career.
"He helped to bomb Heligoland in the early days."
Tait was awarded the D.F.C. in 1940, the D.S.O. in 1941, and a bar to the D.S.O. – for his leadership and courage in a daylight raid on Kiel – later the same year.
He won the second bar to his D.S.O. in September this year for leadership, gallantry and untiring devotion to duty.
Tait's squadron was formed by Wing Commander Gibson, V.C., to burst the Moehne and Eder dams and was later commanded by Wing Commander Cheshire, V.C.
It was called a special duties squadron and has carried out many difficult operations.
