A "forgotten" World War II hero was recognised when his name was added to the Battle of Britain monument.
Squadron Leader Charles Ogilvy flew Spitfires and Lancasters during the war and was involved in bringing prisoners of war home to Britain.
But his name was left off the monument dedicated to the bravery of 2,936 British and Allied airmen who took part in the Battle of Britain as no war records existed for him.
When his daughter Susan paid a visit to the monument on the Victoria Embankment in London and saw her father's name was missing, she took it upon herself to gather enough information to make sure he was rightly honoured for his service.
The 67-year-old from Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, said: "I am grateful that my father's name has been added and that he will be honoured along with all those other young men who fought for their country.
"My father became a squadron leader and although he never talked about the war, it is right that his name appears on the memorial as it is something for our family to be proud of."
Sqn Ldr Ogilvy, a father-of-three, died of cancer in February 1995 at the age of 79.
It was only upon the subsequent death of his widow that Mrs Ogilvy examined his war medals and realised her father had been given the Battle of Britain Clasp. He had joined 610 Squadron in October 1940 at the age of 24 and flew two operational sorties that month, qualifying him for the award.
She hired a professional researcher to examine the squadron's operational record book at the Kew Public Records Office, and learned that his details had been lost.
Using Sqn Ldr Ogilvy's logbooks as evidence, she was able to prove that he did deserve to have his name included on the monument, which was unveiled by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall in 2005.
Ms Ogilvy added: "My father was a very modest person and would have thought 'what a fuss'.
"He never talked about anything to do with the war. He died without anyone knowing anything about this, and it must have been a very difficult time for a lot of young men.
"I think he deserves to have his name there and I am very proud to have done this for him."
Edward McManus, who compiled the list of names to be originally included on the monument, said: "As time went by after the monument was unveiled, there were several approaches to say that we had made mistakes but none were substantiated.
"That was until Ms Ogilvy got in touch. We are delighted to be able to honour the bravery of Sqn Ldr Ogilvy in this way."
His work during the war, which also included taking part in a humanitarian operation in the Netherlands to drop food to starving Dutch people, was honoured thanks to Westminster City Council and its transport contractors FM Conway, who paid for his name to be added.
Councillor Robert Davis, deputy leader of the council, said: "We are honoured to be able to pay tribute to a forgotten hero who was one of the many exceptional people whose sacrifice ensured that good triumphed over evil during our country's darkest days."
Sqn Ldr Ogilvy, born in Kelso in the Scottish borders, later became a flying instructor at RAF Cranwell in Lincolnshire and returned to work in the insurance business after the war.
He retired in 1985 and was a church warden in Walton-on-the-Hill, Surrey, where he had settled in 1960.
