The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Aviation Radioman Second Class Harry Lawrence Adriance (NSN: 6667076), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight from 2 to 26 July 1944. Aviation Radioman Second Class Adriance completed twenty flights in a combat area where enemy anti-aircraft fire was expected to be effective or where enemy aircraft patrols usually occurred. His conduct throughout has distinguished him among those performing duties of the same character.
