DFC Citation LG. 02nd June 1942:
This officer is a most courageous and determined pilot. He has completed a large number of sorties, and on three occasions when his flying boat developed engine failure, his superb airmanship was responsible for the safe return of his aircraft and its passengers. On the first occasion, one of the engines shed its propeller and then caught fire. Although the aircraft was vibrating badly (making it impossible to read the instrument panel), and despite bad weather, Flight Lieutenant Milligan succeeded in flying his heavily laden aircraft to Kalafrana. Two days later, whilst flying to Malta, he experienced another engine failure but he succeeded in reaching Kalafrana where he made an emergency landing without the aid of a flare path. On 9th March 1942, whilst taking off from Malta during a heavy raid, a large bomb burst close to his aircraft. The explosion apparently affected the port engine cowling, for after about an hour in the air the main cowling became partially adrift, causing the aircraft to lose height. Flight Lieutenant Milligan regained control and flew safely to Tobruk. On each of these occasions, this officer has magnificently overcome extremely severe tests.
