During an offensive patrol in August 1940, this officer's flight encountered about one hundred enemy aircraft. He led the flight in attack against them, but before this could be pressed home, he was himself attacked by a number of Messerschmitt 110's. Turning to meet them, he found himself in a stalled position; he spun out of it and immediately sighted and engaged a Dornier 215 which he shot down. Later in the day he destroyed a Messerschmitt 109. Altogether Flight Lieutenant Brothers has destroyed seven enemy aircraft. He has at all times displayed great courage and initiative.
He converted to Spitfire in 1941, and became Wing Leader at Tangmere in 1942. After a period as a Civil Servant in Kenya, he rejoined the RAF and was appointed Wing Commander, flying the Vickers Valiant jet bombers. He ultimately became Air Commodore in 1966, and was awarded the CBE after he retired in 1973. Peter died in 2008.
