Pre and post D-Day
Ray, the Air Crew Star qualification was for:
Awarded for two months of operational flying from the UK over Europe between 03 September 1939 and 05 June 1944.* (from the VAC website) If you flew operationally after D-Day you qualified for the F&G Star. (If you had already qualiifed for the Air Crew Star then you got the F&G Bar)

Hi Ray, Your last point is basically the story. Once the invasion had begun, the ACE was not awarded.
