WW2 Distinguished Flying Cross (1945) attributed to F/O Basil Philip Arthur Mose RAFVR, some light scratching, nearly extremely fine in Royal Mint case of issue. Sold with silver cigarette case (Birmingham 1937 hallmarks) with initials B.P.A.M. to outside and engraved on the inside "B.P.A. Mose All good wishes from his colleagues in W4a October 1940 Air Ministry." His DFC was announced in the London Gazette dated 19th January 1945 while serving with 433 Sqn RCAF. He was commissioned from the ranks 15/5/44, promoted F/O 15/11/44, Flt Lt 15/5/46. With some typed research, This officer, Wireless Operator of Flying Officer Major's crew, has since February 1944 completed 31 operational sorties over enemy territory, including such heavily defended targets as Berlin (2), Essen and Karlsruhe. On one occasion, namely the night of April 26/27th when attacking Essen, this officer found his intercommunication unserviceable after being shot up by an enemy aircraft. He located the trouble in the mid-fuselage and discovered that the insulation had been stripped off most of the wires of the intercommunication system. He succeeded in spacing and insulating them with pieces of cigarette carton and intercommunication was restored. Although forced to leave his W/T for a long time this officer kept a good log and listened out at the correct times. This particular instance is only indicative of the skill and initiative displayed by Pilot Officer Mose throughout his tour, and in his capacity as Deputy Signals Leader his qualities of leadership plus his splendid example has done much to improve the efficiency of the section. I consider that this officer's fine record of achievement fully merits the immediate award of the Distinguished Flying Cross. The Signals Section at Base Skipton-on-Swale was very impressed. Also with an old newspaper cutting referring to the award of DFC, from Finchley. (See photo) (R) £1200
