Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant Leon F. Price for extraordinary achievement while serving as Pilot on many high-altitude, heavy-bombardment missions over Germany and German-occupied Continental Europe, during a period ending 21 September 1944. Under the duress of heavy fighter attacks, anti-aircraft fire and often under adverse weather conditions, Lieutenant Price, by his superior airmanship, contributed to the success of all of these operations. The untiring effort, skill and determination under stress of combat displayed by Lieutenant Price are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Army Air Forces of the United States.
