An impressive achievement. Few know of the Australian bomber that did something similar.

 

Japanese fighter ace Saburo Sakai survived the war and, moved by the bravery and heroism of one of the many pilots he shot down, wrote a letter to the Australian Government, recommending him for a medal, stating: "I recommend that Pilot Officer Warren F. Cowan be posthumously awarded your country's highest commendation. I have encountered many brave pilots in my life but Warren F. Cowan stands alone." The Australian Government did not honor the request.

Too right Nev!

 

You'd think his recommendation would have had far more clout than any government bureaucratic paper shuffler.
