Quote: Yes they did - it's called the Aircrew Europe Star. No-one else got a "special" medal. Once you open that can of worms you'll be getting the Fighter Command Medal, The Coastal Command medal, the submarines medal, the commandos medal and the Uncle Tom Cobbleigh and all medal.
My understanding is that Aircrew Europe included ANY aircrew flying on ops. over hostile soil. This would of course include:
Fighter Command, Coastal Command and the FAA at least.
So, no medal for the Bomber boys as such.
