    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 First Lieutenant (Air Corps) Sidney Scheinberg, United States Army Air Forces, for extraordinary achievement while serving as navigator on many high altitude heavy bombardment missions against the enemy over Continental Europe during a period ending 26 November 1944. Lieutenant Scheinberg, expertly navigating his aircraft, has contributed materially to the successful destruction of targets highly important to the enemy’s war effort. The skill, energy, and resourcefulness displayed by Lieutenant Scheinberg on all these occasions reflect the highest credit upon himself and the United States Military Forces.
