Jack Thomas Brimley Billingham's DFM was in the London Gazette dated 27th March 1945 for "Sergeant Billingham, has now completed 33 operational sorties as Flight Engineer with his squadron and has visited such targets as Kiel, Sterkrade, Homburg, Bochum, Duisburg, Stuutgart and precision objectives in occupied territory. At all times he has proved himself to be a most capable engineer. He was always shown the greatest desire to fly against the enemy and he overcame considerable physical limitations in order to carry on with his crew. His courage in this respect was matched by his coolness and bravery in the face of enemy fire. Nothing could distract him and his expert engine handling was a vital factor in the successes achieved by his crew. Much older than his colleagues (he is 38 years of age), Sergeant Billingham was an excellent influence in an excellent crew and his work throughout a hazardous tour was worthy of the highest praise. It is recommended that this NCO's capable work, physical courage and devotion to duty throughout a hazardous tour be recognised by the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal. The Station Commander added - Sergeant Billingham showed the highest standards of devotion to duty throughout his operational tour. His sorties include most of the heavily defended targets in Germany, yet in spite of his age, he was always ready for duty. I recommend Sergeant Billingham's outstanding record be recognised by the award of the Distinguished Flying Medal.
