SQUADRON LEADER HENRY WALLACE "WALLY" McLEOD, D.S.0., D.F.C. and Bar, of Regina, Sask., served with Nos. 132, 485, 602, 411, 603, 435 and 433 Squadrons. He was another Canadian pilot who won special distinction in the Battle of Malta shooting down 13 of his eventual total of 1 9 enemy aircraft destroyed, one probably destroyed, and 91/4damaged. S/L McLeod was lost in combat with enemy aircraft over the Rees area of Germany on 27 September 1944. His body was found later in the wreckage of his aircraft nine miles north of Wesel and was laid to rest in the cemetery at Rheinberg eleven miles north-west of Dulaburg. When he went missing W/C "Johnny" Johnson, the top RAF fighter pilot wrote of S/L McLoed: "(He)" is an excellent leader and, in my opinion, is one of the outstanding fighter pilots produced in this war....", and again: "a gallant and courageous fighter pilot and a first class leader." The citation for his D.F.C. reads, in part: "in Septernber 1942 this officer participated in an engagement against at least twenty Me.109s. Despite the odds McLeod so skilfully led his section during the combat that the enemy forcewas completely broken up." On anotheroccasion, one day in October 1942, McLeod so skilifully led his section during the combat that the enemy force was completely broken up." On another occasion, one day in October 1942, MeLeod took part in an attack on a formation of six Ju.88's and shot two of them down. Although his aircraft was damaged in the combat, he led his section in an at- tack on another formation of nine enemy bombers which were successfully driven off before they reached their target. S/L McLeod was the top RCAF ace as he did not spend any time in the RAF.
