The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Major Albert J. Bibee (MCSN: 0-27111), United States Marine Corps, for heroism while participating in aerial flight against the enemy with a Marine Attack Squadron in Korea. On 14 July 1952, Major Bibee engaged in an aerial assault against a heavily defended and carefully camouflaged concentration of enemy personnel and supply shelters. As he initiated his second bombing attack through intense and accurate defensive fire, his plane was struck and damaged by an explosive enemy projectile. With complete disregard for his own safety he resolutely pressed the attack, scoring direct hits with his bombs on the enemy positions. Maneuvering with skill and precision despite the damage to his aircraft and increasingly heavy anti-aircraft fire, he returned to make repeated accurate assaults on the enemy objective. Major Bibee’s heroic actions in continuing his attacks contributed substantially to the success of a mission that demolished ten enemy personnel shelters and 12 supply stacks, and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
