VIRTUAL MEMORIAL HALL

    Distinguished Flying Cross

    182 honorees

    The Distinguished Flying Cross (DFC) is a military decoration of the United States Armed Forces. The medal was established on July 2, 1926, and is awarded to those who, after April 6, 1917, have distinguished themselves by single acts of heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight. Both heroism and extraordinary achievement are entirely distinctive, involving operations that are not routine.

    The list below is limited to those alumni who received the award and are also in Memorial Hall.
