a. Authorization. 10 U.S.C. 96245.
b. Distinguished Flying Cross Medal Eligibility Requirements. Awarded to individuals
who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy or the Marine
Corps, distinguish themselves by heroism or extraordinary
achievement while participating in an aerial flight. To justify
this decoration for heroism, an act
in the face of danger, well
above those actions performed by others engaged
in similar
flight operations, is required; for achievement, the results
accomplished must be so exceptional as to render them
conspicuous among
those accomplished by others involved in
similar circumstances.
(1) In adjudging the appropriate awards for the
various members of a flight
crew, it is considered that the
pilot responsible for flying the aircraft is
sometimes eligible
for a higher award than other members of the flight crew. However, in a two-seat aircraft where the pilot and crewmember
constitute a team, and function as an integral part of the
weapons system, both would generally be eligible for the same
award. A crewmember other than the pilot should not be
precluded from receiving a higher award if circumstances so
indicate. Each case will be considered on its own merits.
(2) Establishing a new record in aerial flight does
not necessarily qualify as
an extraordinary achievement.
c. Combat Distinguishing Device. The Combat
Distinguishing Device may
be authorized for service after 4
April 1974.
