Timeline
Air Commodore Peter Malam "Pete" Brothers, (30 September 1917 – 18 December 2008) was a Royal Air Force fighter pilot and flying ace of World War II.
Brothers was credited with 16 aerial victories, 10 of which he achieved during the Battle of Britain.
Born in Prestwich, Lancashire, the son of John Malam Brothers, Brothers was educated at North Manchester School.
His early interest in flying was shown by learning to fly aged 16.
He joined the Royal Air Force in January 1936, and was granted a short service commission as an acting Pilot Officer on probation on 23 March, Joining No 32 Squadron in October 1936, his commission was confirmed on 27 January 1937, and he was promoted to flying officer on 27 October 1938.
Brothers first saw action during the Battle of Britain as a flight commander in No 32. Squadron RAF which was then based at RAF Biggin Hill flying Hurricane aircraft.
The Battle of Britain was a very busy time for Brothers, and during this time he shot down his first enemy aircraft, a Messerschmitt Bf 109.
By the end of August 1940, he was officially recognised as an ace, having shot down eight enemy aircraft.
He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for these actions; the citation read:
"Air Ministry, 13th September, 1940.
The KING has been graciously pleased to approve the undermentioned awards, in recognition of gallantry displayed in flying operations against the enemy:—
Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Acting Flight Lieutenant Peter Malan BROTHERS (37668).
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."
Brothers was promoted substantive Flight Lieutenant on 3 September 1940, and due to the level of losses within 32 Sqn, it was stood down, and on 9 September he was posted to No. 257 Squadron RAF based at RAF Coltishall on 9 September as a Flight Commander under Squadron Leader Robert Stanford Tuck.
