  • William Lloyd (Bill) Brill, DSO, DFC avec (en) (17 mai 1916 – 12 octobre 1964) est un officier supérieur et un pilote de bombardier pour la Force aérienne royale australienne. Né dans la région de la Riverina en Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, il est fermier et appartient à l'Armée de réserve australienne avant de rejoindre la RAAF dans les cadets de l’air en 1940. Avec la création du Plan d'entraînement aérien du Commonwealth britannique, il est muté en Grande-Bretagne en 1941 pour participer à la guerre aérienne en Europe. Brill participe à son premier combat au sein du 460e escadron de la RAAF, volant à bord du Vickers Wellington, un bombardier moyen. Il se voit décerner la Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) en mai 1942 pour l’attaque d’une cible avec son bombardier gravement endommagé par un tir de défense anti-aérienne. Après avoir été instructeur à la RAF, il participe à la campagne de bombardement en janvier 1944 comme Chef d'escadron avec le 463e escadron de la RAAF, à bord du Avro Lancaster, un bombardier lourd. Son leadership et sa détermination à remplir ses missions, même avec un appareil endommagé – dégâts causés par le largage d’un autre Avro Lancaster volant au-dessus – lui ont permis d’être décoré de l’Ordre du Service distingué. Promu commandant d’aile en mai 1944, il prend le commandement du 467e escadron de la RAAF après que l’avion de son commandant, le (en) (en) fut abattu au combat.

Il commande ensuite les bases aériennes de la RAAF à Rathmines, Canberra et Townsville durant les années 1950 et 1960. William Brill a rempli deux mandats de directeur des Services du Personnel, de 1956 à 1959 et de 1960 à 1963, durant lesquels il est promu (en).

Following assignment as an instructor with the Royal Air Force (RAF), he returned to the bombing campaign in January 1944 as a flight commander with No. 463 Squadron RAAF, flying Avro Lancaster heavy bombers. Brill's leadership and determination to complete his missions despite damage to his aircraft—on one occasion inflicted by another Lancaster's bombs from above—earned him the Distinguished Service Order. Promoted to wing commander in May 1944, he took over No. 467 Squadron RAAF after the death in combat of its then-commander, Group Captain John Balmer. Brill was awarded a bar to his DFC in July, for his skill in evading three German night fighters. Returning to Australia, he remained in the Air Force after the war and led No. 10 Squadron in 1949–50. He went on to command air bases at Rathmines, Canberra and Townsville during the 1950s and 1960s. Brill served two terms as RAAF Director of Personnel Services, in 1956–59 and 1960–63, by which time he had been promoted to group captain. His final posting was at the Department of Air in Canberra. He died of a heart attack in October 1964. (en)

  • William Lloyd Brill (Ganmain, 17 de Maio de 1916 – Campbell, 12 de Outubro de 1964) foi um oficial e piloto de bombardeiros da Real Força Aérea Australiana (RAAF). Nascido no distrito de Riverina, em Nova Gales do Sul, era um agricultor e reserva do Exército Australiano, antes de se juntar à RAAF em 1940. Depois de treinar na Austrália e no Canadá, foi colocado na Inglaterra em 1941 para prestar serviço na guerra aérea europeia. Entrou pela primeira vez em combate com o Esquadrão N.º 460, a bordo de um bombardeiro médio Vickers Wellington. Em Maio de 1942 foi condecorado com a Cruz de Voo Distinto, por atacar um alvo inimigo mesmo tendo o seu avião severamente danificado por fogo antiaéreo. Depois de se tornar instrutor de voo na Real Força Aérea (RAF), regressou à campanha de bombardeamento em Janeiro de 1944 pelo Esquadrão N.º 463, com bombardeiros pesados Avro Lancaster. A liderança e determinação de Brill em completar as suas missões, mesmo com aeronaves danificadas—numa ocasião danificada por bombas de um Lancaster que voava por cima dele—valeu-lhe a Ordem de Serviços Distintos. Promovido a Wing Commander, em Maio de 1944, tomou o comando do Esquadrão N.º 467 depois da morte do seu então comandante, o Group Capitain John Balmer. De regresso à Austrália, permaneceu na força aérea depois da guerra, e comandou o Esquadrão N.º 10 entre 1949 e 1950.
