Gerald John GRAY DFC

DFC and Bar Citation London Gazette (36942) 13th February 1945

Squadron Leader Gray was detailed to lead a (formation of aircraft in an attack on a 'large concentration of enemy transport and tanks near the German front line. In spite of intense fire from the enemy's ground defences, the operation was completed successfully. Throughout the flight, Squadron' Leader Gray displayed a high degree of courage and resolution. His aircraft was hit in the first run in. Despite this he pressed home his attacks again and again and contributed materially to the good results obtained. Since being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross this officer has completed very many varied sorties.


This pilot flew fighter aircraft for the RAF in WWII, this record has come from the RAF Archives with a log book reference. The log book is available for viewing in the RAF London archives. The data we parsed includes pilot name, rank, awards, and log book dates - but little else, i.e. country of birth or aircraft flown. We have made country of birth the UK until users edit the pilot listing to make a correction, figuring a majority will be UK pilots. We do have a reference number for the operational log book(s) available in the RAF archives, in London, and the reference numbers include: Log Book accession no. X001-3841/002. If a user conducts research on this pilot and can fill in this pilot's biography further by clicking edit, or, can visit the RAF archives to inspect the log book(s) and add any aircraft serials or sortie details, this change will be reflected in your profile as recognition. Let us know if you visit the archives.
