Ditsinguished Service Order
Smart, Stanley Lees (124548)		June 13th, 1944; Acting Squadron Leader, No. 149 Squadron Citation: "Since being awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross this officer has participated in several sorties and has continued to display the highest standard of skill, bravery and devotion to duty. During a recent operation his aircraft came under considerable light anti-aircraft fire and was struck in the nose and in one of the engines, the rear turret was put out of action and other damage was sustained. In spite of great difficulty, Squadron Leader Smart flew the damaged aircraft to base. His achievement was most commendable. This officer is a most inspiring leader, whose great zeal and fine fighting, qualities have contributed in a large way to the success of the squadron."
