About the event
Air Marshal Sir Harold Brownlow Morgan "Micky" Martin, KCB, DSO & Bar, DFC & Two Bars, AFC (27 February 1918 – 3 November 1988) was an Australian bomber pilot and high-ranking commander in the Royal Air Force (RAF). He participated in Operation Chastise, the RAF's "Dambusters" raid in 1943, and was described by journalist Sir Max Hastings as "one of the three great bomber pilots of the war." He advanced to become a senior officer in the RAF, leading RAF Germany and later serving as Air Member for Personnel, and a member of the Air Council, the RAF's governing body.
