A hazardous operation in daylight, “planned personally, with a full knowledge of the risks entailed,” gains the V.C. for an Australian airman, who had already won the D.F.C. for a successful operation. He is Acting Wing Commander H. I. Edwards, who, since serving as a cadet in the R.A.A.F. since 1935, has undertaken flying in several R.A.F. squadrons with distinction.
