The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Aviation Radioman First Class Jack H. Bagdasar (NSN: 6336092), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in a series of aerial flights in the Pacific Area from 15 March 1945 to 3 April 1945. Aviation Radioman First Class Bagdasar 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.
