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 Technical Sergeant John C. Wagner (ASN: 16077252), United States Army Air Forces, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight as a member of the *** Air Commando Group, while participating in more than fifty hours and fifty missions of aerial flight over territory in Burma where exposure to enemy fire was probable and expected. Piloting liaison aircraft, these men evacuated wounded and ill personnel, ferried replacements, Japanese prisoners, medical supplies, and miscellaneous light cargo, and engaged in aerial reconnaissance artillery spotting, and courier missions. Their devotion to duty and degree of efficiency, above and beyond that normally expected, reflect great credit on themselves and the Army Air Forces of the United States.
