Maclean, Ian Dugald (Flight Sergeant)

238 Squadron (Ad Finem). FS Maclean was awarded the D.F.M. in April of 1942 while serving with 99 Squadron. The Citation reads, "This airman is an extremely reliable pilot. On all his operational flights he has shown great persistence both to attack and, whenever possible, to obtain photographs of the target area. On one occasion this led to his being caught in an extremely accurate barrage over Emden for some twenty minutes. He eventually evaded the barrage only to return through it to secure another photograph. Sergeant Maclean has participated in numerous sorties, including attacks on Berlin, Kiel, Mannheim, Brest, Wilhelmshaven and other highly defended areas." FS Maclean was killed in the crash of 20 Operational Training Unit Wellington Ic aircraft DV 726 at Coversea Golf Links near Lossiemouth, Scotland.
