Re: First DFC for night-fighting in WW2?

Andy;

Michael James Herrick of 25 Squadron destroyed two night raiders 4/5 September 1940 and was awarded the DFC 24 September 1940. Aces High page 324 notes that Herrick "... was to become the first successful night fighter pilot..." This should be the first !
