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 Donald Karl Logan (AFSN: 18880878), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as an F-4E Weapon Systems Officer over Southeast Asia on 24 June 1972. On that date, Lieutenant Logan flew in the number two aircraft in a flight of four F-4E fighter-bombers which struck a steel factory deep inside hostile territory. Despite numerous surface-to-air missiles which were fired at the flight, as well as intense and highly accurate antiaircraft artillery, Lieutenant Logan aided the Aircraft Commander in accurately placing their ordnance on target, resulting in three large secondary explosions and three heavily damaged buildings. The professional competence, aerial skill and devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Logan reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
