Flight Lieutenant Peter Isaacson, 1943. AWM 138686
Peter Isaacson was sent to Canada for training under the Empire Air Training Scheme. He graduated in September 1941 and was sent to Britain, where he joined No. 460 Squadron. This unit would come to be regarded as the most efficient Australian squadron of Bomber Command.
Flying heavy bombers over Germany and occupied Europe, Peter was able to accurately bomb his targets, manoeuvre out of search lights, dodge anti-aircraft fire, and escape enemy planes. He was later awarded the Distinguished Flying Medal for leadership and courage in successful operations against the enemy. In 1943 Peter moved to Pathfinder Force, in which the best and most experienced crews would fly ahead of the bombers to identify their targets.
