Étoile de 1939-1945, Étoile France-Allemagne, Médaille de la Défense, Médaille de la Guerre de 1939-1945, Médaille canadienne du volontaire, Croix du Service distingué dans l'Aviation effectivement le 13 octobre 1944, "Warrant Officer Ryan is an outstanding pilot who has consistently displayed superb captaincy and airmanship. One night in August 1944 he was detailed to attack Foret de Nieppe in France. During the outward flight two engines became defective and Warrant Officer Ryan was compelled to jettison some of his equipment and to set course for an emergency airfield. Before the landing ground was reached, the starboard outer propeller flew off and damaged the starboard inner engine. Under difficult and hazardous circumstances this airman effected a masterly landing without causing injury to his crew or further damage to his aircraft."
