Issue Regulations: Distinguished Flying Cross
http://www.amervets.com/replacement/dfc.htm#isr

The Distinguished Flying Cross is authorized to military members who, while
serving in any capacity with the Armed Forces, distinguish themselves by heroism
or outstanding achievement while participating in aerial flight. To be awarded
for heroism the act must involve voluntary action in the face of danger and be
well above the actions performed by others engaged in similar flight operations.
If awarded for extraordinary achievement, it must have resulted in an
accomplishment so exceptional and outstanding as to clearly set the individual
apart from his or her comrades or from other persons in similar circumstances.
Awards of the Distinguished Flying Cross by the Army are only made to recognize
single acts of heroism or extraordinary achievement and not to recognize
sustained operational activities against an armed enemy.
