The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Lieutenant David Bagley (NSN: 0-117120), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Pacific Area from 4 December 1943 to 31 January 1944. Lieutenant Bagley 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.
