The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Aviation Radioman Second Class Harold Donald Barnett (NSN: 2388487), United States Navy, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Pacific Area during the period from 18 December 1944 to 18 February 1945. Aviation Radioman Second Class Barnett 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.
