The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Captain William Biehl, Jr. (MCSN: 0-25343), United States Marine Corps, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight against the enemy as a member of a Marine Attack Squadron in Korea. On 5 April 1952, Captain Biehl led a flight of Marine attack aircraft against a series of heavily defended enemy bunkers which threatened the security of United Nations front line forces. Despite mountainous terrain, Captain Biehl promptly located the cleverly camouflaged positions and initiated an attack through intense hostile fire. After scoring direct hits with his own bombs, he directed the rest of his flight so skillfully that eleven bunkers were destroyed and heavy casualties inflicted upon enemy personnel. Captain Biehl’s bombing accuracy and exemplary leadership were largely responsible for the success of a mission that substantially reduced pressure on friendly front line units, and his actions were in keeping with the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.
