Flying Officer Burgess "Bugby" Beare, 22, who pecently sentxthree German Junkers 88's crashing & tot Mediterranean . in three minutes o aerial fighting, has been awarded the D.F.C,, the airman revealed in a cable to his mother, Mrs. Hiram Fitchett, Port Perry. One of three brothers on active ser- vice, Flying Officer Beare has been with an R.A.F. Beaufighter squadron on convoy patrol in the Mediterranean area since last July, "As far as I know, those three victories are the only enemy planes that Burgess has shot down, and I had to learn about them from the papers," said his mother, "He never tells anything in his letters. He has heen in Malta, over the desert and in the Aegean. Canadians with the R.A.F. got five Nazi planes on that one patrol and Burgess. shot down three out of the five." The Beaufighter ace has a twin brother, Flying Officer Bruce Beare, a navigation instructor at Claresholm, Alberta, who joined the R.C.A.F. a few months following the enlistment of Ijurkess., "Bruce is very interested in navi- gation and he likes instructing," said Mrs. Fitchett; "He doesn't seem to be sorry that he is missing the excite- ment that his twin brother has ex- perienced." The other member of is trio of Beares on active service is Private Clarence Beare, 27, who is in England with the Royal Canadian Artillery. "Clarence arrived overseas a week or two behind Burgeo." the mother de- clared. "All three «my sons are on the job, and of course I'm proud of them," "Once earlier Burgess was forced to crash his Beaufighter into the Medi-' terranean and He did tell me a bit about that in his letters", the mother added. "He said he was out on a job and on the way. home his engine quit, forcing him to crash land into ] ' i the sea. He and another fellow got out into their rubber boat and were picked up a few hours later, by a British destroyer. He didn't say he was aboard the destroyer during a sea battle, but he suggested that he Was, "'We were treated like queens', he wrote, "The water was very warm and outside of fa' few bruises .and scratches which smarted a lot from the salt Water we were not hurt, We were back on the job again in a few days'. " Flying Officer - Burgess Beare en- listed in the R.C.A.F. at the age of 19 and went overseas a year ago. He was transferred to an R.A.F. squad- ron in the Middle East last July.

Beare of Port Perry says: "This officer has com- pleted very many sorties ~nd has dis- played commendable si ., keenness and devotion to duty. During a sortie '| early in October, 1948, F.0. Beare was compelled to bring his aircraft down onto the sea. His keenness was such, however, that within a few days of being rescued he had resumed fly- ing duties." Toward the end of the month F.0. Beare took part in an en- gagement against a large force of enemy bombers and fighters. In| the fight he manipulated his guns with deadly effect and shot down. three Junkers 88's. In rapid succession the enemy aircraft hit the sea. Almost simultaneously he also drove off a fighter which was attacking his lead- er.. F.O. Beare displayed great skill and determination throughout."
