Bird was part of 605 Squadron
Flight Lieutenant Arthur “Dickie” Bird, who has died aged 100, flew intruder missions over Germany to attack airfields and suppress the activities of the Luftwaffe; for his exploits he was awarded the DFC.
Bird was an experienced night-fighter pilot when, in August 1943, together with his navigator Les Hodder, he joined 605 (County of Warwick) Squadron equipped with the Mosquito. During the next six months they flew 60 operations, some more than five hours long.
The squadron’s role was to fly at night and patrol near enemy airfields in France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany to attack Luftwaffe night fighters as they took off to intercept raids mounted by Bomber Command. No 605 employed numerous aircraft in succession over each target so as to catch returning enemy fighters. ....
