HERRING, D.'F.M., NO. 207 Squadron. —One night in September this officer was the rap-tain of an aircraft which participated in an attack on Berlin. Whilst over the city the aircraft wasrepeatedly hit by shell-fire from an intense and accurate barrage, and, when F/O. Herring suc-ceeded in evading the defences, the aircraft had sustained severe damage. The port engine hadfailed and, owing to lack of hydraulic power to the gun turrets, the aircraft was almost de-fenceless. Nevertheless, F/O. Herring decided to attemptto fly the aircraft back to this country by the shortest route, which entailed passing over theenemy's most heavily defended areas. Overcoming many difficulties, he succeeded in reaching thiscountry and landing safely at an aerodrome witn practically no fuel left in the tanks. Throughoutthis officer displayed outstanding determination. On numerous occasions F/O. Herring has carriedout attacks on the most heavily defended targets. DISTINGUISHED FLYING CROSS. F/O N. L, D.
