Citation:  1.) The President of the United States takes great pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to Corporal Louis C. Thompson for extraordinary achievement while participating, as flight traffic clerks, in operational flights totaling more than nine hundred hours in unarmed, heavily-loaded transport airplanes, during which exposure to enemy fire was probable and expected. During the periods indicated they have helped supply by air food, clothing, mail, medicinal supplies and material to our forward elements and to those of our Indian, British, and Chinese Allies. Undaunted by the hazards faced regularly and continuously, they performed their duties in such a manner that high credit is reflected upon themselves and the military forces of the United States.
