attack Germany 08.42 **
|
* On 25th September, 1942, this officer led a
formation of bombers detailed to attack the Gestapo Headquarters on the
occasion of the Quisling Rally at Oslo. On reaching the city, Squadron Leader
Parry vigorously attacked his objective from rooftop height and obtained hits
on the centre of the buildings despite interference by enemy fighters.
Throughout the flight, which demanded a high degree of skill, Squadron Leader
Parry displayed great leadership.
** In August, 1942, Flight Lieutenant Parry and Pilot Officer Robson were
pilot and navigator respectively of an aircraft detailed to attack a target in
Germany in daylight, in spite of difficulties, and in the face of intense
anti-aircraft fire, the target, which was comparatively small, was vigorously
attacked from a low level and hits were made. Throughout, Flight Lieutenant
Parry and Pilot Officer Robson, whose skilful navigation was of the greatest
assistance, displayed great courage and determination to achieve success. Both
these officers have completed numerous sorties.

His son writes: "This
cartoon was drawn by a fellow POW Tom Slack who was a Spitfire pilot with 41 Sqd who joined Dad in the bag in 1944. After the war he went on to
become a cartoonist and wrote a book about his Wartime experiences 'Happy is the Day.' The picture shows Dad while on the forced march after Stalag Luft
III was evacuated by the Germans in February 1945 and is captioned 'The Sagan Safari' with the typical wry humour of the
day.. but as I understand it the march was no picnic!" |
