This officer has completed a large number of sorties during which he has inflicted much loss on the enemy. On a recent occasion he piloted an aircraft on a sortie far into enemy territory during which he shot down 2 enemy aircraft and most effectively attacked 3 more on the ground. The success achieved reflects the greatest credit on the efforts of this officer whose skill was superb. Flight Lieutenant Ronald Arthur PICKLER.
