Norman Cyril Jackson VC (8 April 1919 – 26 March 1994) was a sergeant in the Royal Air Force (RAF) who earned the Victoria Cross during a Second World War bombing raid on Schweinfurt, Germany in April 1944. == Early life == Born in Ealing, Middlesex, Jackson was adopted as a weeks-old baby by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Gunter. The Gunters also adopted Geoffrey Oliver Hartley, who would himself be awarded the George Medal as a Federation of Malaya police lieutenant for protecting his party, which included a woman and three children, from bandits in 1951.〔Newspaper reports, including Jackson's obituary in the ''Daily Telegraph'' say that Hartley won the George Cross, but the ''London Gazette'', which is the authoritative historical record for British awards, lists his award as the lesser George Medal.〕 Upon this occasion, Mrs. Gunter said, "We adopted two of the finest sons any parents could wish for." Jackson qualified as a fitter and turner. Although he was married and in a reserved occupation at the outbreak of the Second World War, he enlisted in the RAF.
