  This officer piloted an aircraft which attacked Kassel one night in October, 1943. Soon after leaving the target, the aircraft was engaged by a fighter and sustained much damage. The bomber became difficult to control but Flight Lieutenant Clark resolutely held to his course. By a superb effort he reached an airfield in this country and effected a masterly landing. This officer displayed exceptional skill and determination and was largely responsible for the safe return of the aircraft and its crew. Flight Lieutenant Donald Pearson PATON.
