My brother was a navigator with the Royal Air Force flying over France and Germany. He survived 2 tours of 32 operations before the war ended.

That's a generation that deserves our respect. My father and three uncles all served in the Atlantic or Pacific theatres. My Uncle Bruce was a Sergeant in the 101st Airborne. He was a glider pilot and crashed his glider into a Normandy hedgerow on D-Day. I was glad to have known him.

My brother was awarded the DFC for his service.
I was a teenager and hero worshiped him

Do you know any of the details surrounding the award of his DFC?
