Squadron Leader Thomas John Broom, DFC & Two Bars (22 January 1914 – 18 May 2010) was a Royal Air Force officer who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross three times for bomber operations during the Second World War. Broom was mobilised to France at the outbreak of the Second World War, assigned to No. 105 Squadron operating Fairey Battle light bombers. After the German Blitzkrieg through France in 1940, Broom returned home and transferred to No. 13 Operational Training Unit at Bicester, where he taught navigators the skills required for combat. He returned to No. 105 Squadron in 1942 and completed another tour, after which he was posted to 1655 Mosquito Training Unit where he remained until May 1944. Subsequent to this he returned to front-line flying until the end of the war, with Nos. 571, 128 and 163 (Mosquito) Squadrons. Broom completed in all 83 operations. It was while flying with No. 571 Squadron that he became the navigator for Ivor Broom. They remained lifelong friends until Ivor Broom's death in 2003.
