The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to First Lieutenant (Air Service) Harry Owen McDougall, United States Army Air Service, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving with 96th Aero Squadron, U.S. Army Air Service, A.E.F., near Dun-sur-Meuse, France, 23 October 1918. Lieutenant McDougall, with Second Lieutenant Elmer McKay, observer, while on a bombing mission, displayed exceptional courage by leaving a comparatively secure position in the center of the formation during a combat with five enemy planes and going to the protection of two other officers whose planes had been disabled and forced out of the formation. Lieutenant McDougall skillfully maneuvered his machine so as to enable Lieutenant McKay to shoot down one of the adversaries and fight off the others.
