George Clayton Abel GM (1909 – October 29, 1977) was a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II.
The citation read:[2] In November 1943, Flight Lieutenant Abel was a member of the crew of an aircraft detailed for an operational sortie.
Flight Lieutenant Abel, with his companions, had travelled a distance of approximately sixty yards before he realized that one member of the crew, the rear gunner, was missing.
Flight Lieutenant Abel, ignoring the imminent danger, returned to the aircraft, calling on the other members of the crew to follow him.
Flight Lieutenant Abel then smashed the perspex with his bare hands and succeeded in dragging the rear gunner clear of the wreckage.
