Citation:
"This officer has almost completed his first operational tour. He is an outstanding captain, who has always shown excellent leadership and skill of the highest order. He has secured numerous fine photographs of target areas. On one occasion, prior to an attack on Bois de Casson the port outer engine and mid-upper turret were rendered unserviceable, and the mid-upper gunner killed, but despite this a successful bombing attack was completed. On other sorties, Flt. Lt. Langran has made several runs over the target to ensure an accurate attack. He has always done excellent work, and has shown continued determination to complete all his missions."
