It was disgraceful the way he was treated after WW2.
It certainly was!! And if I remember correctly I read of him that he once returned from a flight with an unexploded Japanese 20mm cannon shell lodged in the cockpit right behind his head!
Not sure of the rest of the story but I seem to recall that for that particular event his CO recommended him for the DFM. (Only Officers got the DFC)
It was not forthcoming.
