The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Aviation Radioman First Class James V. Buschman (NSN: 6544423), United States Naval Reserve, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight in the Pacific Area from 30 March 1944 to 23 April 1944. Aviation Radioman First Class Buschman 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.
