Data derived from many sources. Incorporates 125,000 entries from Aircrew Deaths 39-47 Database. Corrections/Additions welcomed via Helpdesk

NOTE ON DATES: IMPORTANT: For consistency, the Date is given as the date the mission TOOK OFF since the precise time of a loss is not always certain. Take Off date is unambigous and fixed in the official records, but obviously in those cases where the incident occurred before midnight UK time, then the Take Off Date will be the same as the Incident Date. Of course, most Bomber Command missions flew through midnight, therefore a Luftwaffe claim against a plane - or a locally generated crash report - may record the incident as occurring on the day following our Take Off Date. Bear this in mind when cross-referencing to our Luftwaffe Victories by Name/Date Database and other Luftwaffe sources. In some cases other sources may quote the date following our date, using locally generated reports as their source. To add to the potential for confusion, remember to take into account a Luftwaffe recorded date will be in local time, 1 hour ahead of UK time. When we discover a validated Incident Date we change our record if necessary.

Killed		DFC awarded whilst with 608 Sqn. Citation: This officer was the pilot of an aircraft detailed to attack Hanover one night in November, 1944. At one stage of the outward flight, Flight Lieutenant MacLean temporarily lost consciousness. The aircraft went into a deep dive. Flight Lieutenant MacLean quickly recovered and, although the aircraft had lost much height, he succeeded in levelling out. A little later a fighter was encountered. The attacker opened fire several times but by skilful manoeuvring, Flight Lieutenant MacLean prevented his aircraft from being hit. The enemy aircraft was eventually evaded and Flight Lieutenant MacLean continued to the target which the attacked at a height much lower than was originally planned. He afterwards flew safely to base. This officer has completed many sorties and has invariably displayed commendable skill, courage and devotion to duty.
