The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain Jeffrey Samuel Feinstein, United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-4D Weapon System Officer of the 13th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 388th Tactical Fighter Wing, Korat Royal Thai Air Base, Thailand, in action in Southeast Asia on 30 September 1917. On that date, Captain Feinstein led a flight of four tactical fighter aircraft on a mission to provide protection from hostile aircraft for chaff bombers and strike aircraft on a mission near Hanoi, North Vietnam. When a flight of two hostile aircraft attempted a high altitude, supersonic attack on the chaff flight, Captain Feinstein aggressively engaged them, forced them to break off their intercept, and very nearly shot down both aircraft in a lengthy dogfight over hostile territory. The professional competence, aerial skill, and devotion to duty displayed by Captain Feinstein reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
