Lancaster mid-upper gunner’s D.F.M. group Flight Sergeant G. A. Hillier, 57 Squadron, with Flying Logbook, recommended part way through his tour for his gallantry in engaging an Me. 109, on the way back from a raid on Dusseldorf, 2/3 November 1944 ‘The enemy’s first attack was made coming in to port and slightly below and cannon fire put the rear gunner’s turret out of action and seriously wounded the gunner. The fighter made further attacks, but Sergeant Hillier, by vigourous offensive action, eventually drove him off. During the action, the mid-upper turret was damaged and, in the latter part of the engagement, Sergeant Hillier fired his guns manually. The situation was exacerbated by the elevator and starboard rudder being damaged to such an extent that the only tactical manoeuvre that the pilot found possible to make was a slight diving turn. Sergeant Hillier’s running commentary to the pilot was exceptional and he was undoubtedly responsible for the safe return of the crew and aircraft to this country.
