Ditsinguished Service Order
Calder, Charles Cranston (62699)		June 13th, 1944; Acting Wing Commander, No. 158 Squadron Citation: "This officer has completed a second tour of operations and has displayed the highest qualities of skill and gallantry throughout. He has displayed the greatest determination in pressing home his attacks and has achieved much success. On occasion, in an operation against Frankfurt, 2 engines became unserviceable. In spite of this, Wing Commander Calder flew the aircraft back to this country after cleverly outmanoeuvring a fighter which had closed in to attack. This officer is an efficient and.forceful squadron commander, whose genius for leadership has contributed in good measure to the success of the formation he commands."
