Flying Officer Donald James Dines (120751) Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve.One evening in August, 1943, Flying Officer Dines was the observer of an aircraft which, owing to engine failure, came down on the sea. The pilot sustained injuries to his head and Flying Officer Dines, displaying initiative, took command of the crew. As a result of his untiring efforts the dinghy was eventually recovered from the wreckage. Then, in order to save an airman who was a non-swimmer, Flying Officer Dines swam over to a petrol tank which had broken loose and succeeded in getting the airman on to it temporarily. He eventually inflated the dinghy and assisted all the crew, including the non-swimmer, into it safely. By this time Flying Officer Dines was almost exhausted but he immediately took control of the emergency rations and flares. All were rescued several hours later. The lives of Flying Officer Dines' comrades were undoubtedly saved by his courage and coolness in extremely difficult circumstances.
