In a dog fight over Abyssinia a flight commander of a South African Air Force fighter squadron, Captain Frost, was forced to land on an enemy aerodrome. A fellow pilot, Lieutenant Kershaw, landed his single-seater near by and under heavy fire Frost clambered on board and sat on Kershaw's lap in the cramped cockpit. He operated the stick and rudder, while Kershaw worked the flap and undercarriage levers. They took off and landed safely at their base. Lieutenant Kershaw received the D.S.O. for this exploit. About a month before Captain Frost had been awarded the D.F.C. for engaging five enemy machines single handed and shooting down four of them. The photograph shows Lieutenant Kershaw (left) and Captain Frost (right).
