 Air Crew Europe Star |
The Air Crew Europe Star was a
campaign medal of the British Commonwealth, awarded for service
in World War II. Specifically, the medal was awarded to
Commonwealth aircrew who participated in operational flights
over Europe, from UK bases. Two months operational flying was required between 3 September 1939 and 5 June 1944 in order to qualify. The 1939-1945 Star must have been earned before commencing qualifying service for the Air Crew Europe Star. From 6 June 1944 (D-Day), operational flying over Europe qualified aircrew for the France and Germany Star. British uniform regulations stipulated that neither the Atlantic Star nor the France and Germany Star would be awarded to a recipient of the Air Crew Europe Star. Subsequent entitlement to the Atlantic Star or the France and Germany Star was denoted by the award of the appropriate clasp to the Air Crew Europe Star. |
