LANGTON, W/C Robert Thomas (RAF 45973) - Air Force Cross - No.1666 Heavy Conversion Unit - awarded as per London Gazette dated 1 January 1945. DHist file 181.009 D.2993 (RG.24 Vol.20634) has recommendation dated 14 October 1944 while Chief Flying Instructor at No.1666 HCU, Wombleton: recommended by G/C N.S. MacGregor: Wing Commander Langton has, by his initiative, drive and perseverance, shown himself to be an outstanding leader in the advancement of heavy conversion training within Bomber Command. He has so perfected the training on the ground and in the air at the unit on which he has been Cgief Instructor since its inception, that it is now recognized as the model of that type of unit throughout the command. He has personally developed many exercises and training aids, the application of which have in no small way contributed to the marked degree in operational losses. He has personally demonstrated and incorprated into instructiional training, the feasibility of flying with two engines on one side, including turns to port and starboard, and he has also demonstrated the simplicity of coping with engine cut outs on take off, all of which is demonstrated and practiced as part of conversion training. He has at all times given unsparingly of his time and boundless energy in the producing of such efficiency in crews, that he has greatly aided the operational units in the successful completion of their difficult tasks. It is strongly recommended that this officer's outstanding performance and ability be rewarded by the award of the Distinguished Flying Cross. To this, G/C F.R. Miller (Commanding No.61 Base) added on 20 October 1944: As Chief Instructor of No.1666 HCU from the very beginning, Wing Commander Langton carried out his duties under difficult condition with unbounded ebergy and marked ability. His faculty for inspiring his staff with his own hard driving enthusiasm has raised the morale and efficiency of his unit to the standard in the group. Wing Commander Langton has 2,400 flying hours to his cred, many of them logged on instructional duties. This recommendation for the recognitioon of Wing Commder Langton's work by the award of the Air Force Cross has my strongest support. He had flown a tour in Bomber Command, and on 18 June 1943 W/C R.S. Steele (OC No.1659 CU) had recommended him for an AFC (he had completed 1,090 hours instruction work in the CUs and HCUs at that date). On 25 July 1944, Group Captain McGregor had recommended him for an OBE.
