Aircrew star

This award was issued to aircrew who flew from Britain over Europe from the beginning of the War up to D-Day in June 1944. A recipient of this star could not receive the Atlantic or France and Germany stars, but wore a clasp to show entitlement to a further Star.

The Air Crew Europe Star is a military campaign medal, instituted by the United Kingdom in May 1945 for award to subjects of the British Commonwealth for service in the Second World War, specifically Commonwealth air crew who participated in operational flights over Europe from bases in the United Kingdom.
