The Distinguished Flying Cross, established in 1926, is awarded to those who distinguish themselves, while participating in aerial flight operations by extraordinary achievement. During WW2 the criteria varied, depending on the theater of operations, missions accomplished and aerial combat. In the Pacific, commissioned officers were awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, while enlisted men were awarded the Air Medal. In Europe, often the sole survivors of their bomber crew, received it for completing a tour of duty of twenty-five sorties. It was also awarded to members of the Armed Forces of foreign nations and instructors or students at flying schools.
