WWII Distinguished Flying Cross 8x10 Photo Signed by (19) Recipients with Lee Kendall, Richard E. Cole, Joe McPhail (PSA LOA)

Photo measures 8" x 10" in size and is hand-signed by (19) WWII Distinguished Flying Cross recipients. 

The Distinguished Flying Cross created by Congress 80 years ago, is America’s oldest military aviation award.  The cross symbolizes sacrifice, and the propeller symbolizes flight. The combination of those symbols makes clear that the DFC is an award for heroism or achievement for individuals involved in aviation. The ribbon reflects the national colors.
