The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster in lieu of a Second Award of the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant James C. Warren, United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight over enemy held North Korea on 4 May 1953. Flying as navigator-bombardier of a B-26 type aircraft, 17th Bombardment Wing Light, Fifth Air Force, engaged in a night interdiction mission, Lieutenant Warren displayed outstanding bombing and navigation skill. In spite of sub marginal weather and restricted visibility a large convoy of enemy vehicles was sighted near Singosan, Korea. Numerous bombing attacks were made causing fourteen secondary explosions and five sustained fires which resulted in the destruction of eleven vehicles and damaged numerous additional vehicles. These attacks were pressed over hazardous mountain terrain despite the ever present threat of fire from enemy automatic weapons and attack by enemy aircraft and were continued until all ordnance was expended. As a result of this highly successful mission vital enemy supplies and transportation facilities were destroyed. By his personal courage, devotion to duty and outstanding ability, Lieutenant Warren has brought great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
