Flying Officer JOHN SHARPE GRIFFITH, D.F.C.
Between May 5 and J u ly 24, 1919, this officer carried out 40 bomb raids
and reconnaissances, all with great success and generally from a low altitude.
On June 3, 1919, he dived to within 1oo ft. of the ground and destroyed an
enemy balloon, as well as several of its attendants. When a two-seater
machine was not readily available he fitted a camera to his scout, and, although
it is very difficult to take photographs from such machines (and, moreover,
he was inexperienced in such work), he succeeded in taking a very good
mosaic which proved of great utility to the Commander of the Vologda Force.
Flying Officer Griffith is an intrepid pilot and a very skilful all-round officer.
