Biography

Not known

Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) — gazetted 4 April 1941

In March, 1941, this officer was the pilot of an aircraft which took part in a sustained attack on an enemy aerodrome. In spite of intense and accurate anti-aircraft fire he pressed home his attack from a low level dropping bombs at intervals, while his gunner machine gunned the aerodrome. During one run over the target, Wing Commander Bartlett was wounded and his aircraft severely damaged, but he continued his attack for the allotted time, dropping bombs which qaused considerable damage to the aerodrome and to a dispersal area. Wing Commander Bartlett succeeded in flying his damaged aircraft back to base and landing safely. He has shown exceptional leadership, courage and determination. Win.
