The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Wayne Adams Warner (AFSN: FR-70338), United States Air Force, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a C-130A Aircraft Commander over Southeast Asia on 13 January 1967. On that date, Lieutenant Warner was flying a command and control target illumination mission when he received a distress situation call from two pilots who were survivors of a mid-air collision. Lieutenant Warner fixed the location of the downed airmen and alerted the Search and Rescue posture. Upon the arrival of the rescue aircraft, Lieutenant Warner directed them to the position of the downed pilots. Lieutenant Warner’s conscientious efforts were directly responsible for the effective and safe recovery of a valuable pilot. The professional competence, aerial skill and devotion to duty displayed by Lieutenant Warner reflect great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Air Force.
