See DHist file 181.009 D.3948 (RG.24 Vol.20641); recommended for AFC, 27 August 1942. Flight Lieutenant Brooker is employed as Officer Commanding, No.2 Squadron. He has completed 1,252 hours on flying instructional duties and despite the arduous and taxing nature of this type of work, his record has not been marred by any accident. His cheerfulness, loyalty and devotion to duty have earned him the respect of all ranks. He is of outstanding ability as a pilot and demonstrates an efficiency in his flying instruction which is outstanding. BROOKER, W/C Douglas Jack (C1451) - Air Force Cross - Central Flying School - Award effective 23 February 1946 as per Canada Gazette of that date and AFRO 280/46 dated 15 March 1946. Previously Commended for Valuable Services in the Air. As of award, had flown 2,310 hours (2,000 hours as instructor, 60 hours in previous six months). Award presented 22 June 1949. This officer, during his lengthy flying career, has at all times displayed fine qualities of leadership and character and has made a valuable contribution to flying training. The enthusiasm, loyalty and untiring devotion to duty he has shown under all circumstances have set a splendid example to all his associates and are worthy of high praise. It appears that in 1943 he attended the Empire Central Flying School. The CFI there, W/C A. Watts, wrote of him in September 1943: A good sound officer who has done well on the course. His attitude toward the course has been considerably influenced by Squadron Leader Broadbent, and for this reason I do not consider that he got quite as good value as he might have. He would do very well at Central Flying School or an SFTS, but it is recommended that he not be posted to the same unit as Squadron Leader Broadbent.
