Distinguished Flying Medal. 1297387 Sergeant Norman Leslie Ernest Gale, Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, No. 106 Squadron. This airman was the flight engineer of an aircraft detailed to attack Berlin one night in August, 1943. Whilst over the city, the aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire. Much damage was sustained, including one of the petrol tanks which was badly pierced, causing its contents to rapidly leak away. Despite this, the pilot completed his bombing run before setting course for home. During the return flight. Sergeant Gale executed his tasks with great skill and zeal, proving of material assistance to his pilot. Soon after the English coast was crossed the petrol became exhausted and the pilot was compelled to attempt a crash-landing. When near to the ground the aircraft struck some obstacles before finally coming to rest in a field where it became wrecked and caught fire. Sergeant Gale got clear and made gallant efforts to rescue other members of the crew. Thrice he entered the wreckage and was successful in assisting 2 of his injured comrades to safety. This airman displayed exemplary conduct throughout and his gallant efforts in harassing circumstances were worthy of high praise.
