Roy Oldfield Calvert, DFC & Two Bars (31 October 1913 – 26 March 2002) was an officer of the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) during the Second World War.

[1][2] Calvert was born on 31 October 1913 in Cambridge, a small town in the Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.

Through a break in the clouds, Calvert spotted railway marshalling yards and prepared the aircraft for a bombing run.

[6] With radio and navigation aids out, aileron trim and rudder unserviceable, Calvert flew the badly damaged bomber back to England, crashlanding at Bradwell Bay on the Essex coast.

[9] The citation read: During a recent sortie, Flying Officer Calvert's aircraft was subjected to heavy anti-aircraft fire, sustaining much damage.

The aircraft became difficult to control, but Flying Officer Calvert, although he had a piece of shell splinter in his left arm, set course for home.

Even so, he succeeded in giving his pilot a final course which enabled him to reach an airfield in this country where he made a skilful crash landing in bad visibility.

He has consistently shown skill, determination and reliability, and as captain of his aircraft he has set a high standard to the other members of his Squadron.
