"RAF helicopter pilot Flt Lt Michelle Goodman, 31, became the first woman to receive the Distinguished Flying Cross.
She flew her Merlin helicopter under fire from mortars and rocket-propelled grenades to pick up seriously injured serviceman Rifleman Stephen Vause in the southern Iraqi city of Basra last year.
Flt Lt Goodman said: "It's one of those things that you look at afterwards and go 'wow', but at the time it was just a case of getting on with the job."
