One note on the awards, the guys who earned a DSC had the award changed to the Navy Cross. In AH these two medals are our highest awards and are equal in seniority. The only difference is the DSC is awarded for land based flying and the Navy Cross is for navy or marine corps flying.

Also Jack, the key at the top of your post says "DFC = Distinguished Flying Cross            DSC = Distinguished Flying Cross". You better fix it before SKAT sees it!

[_AH_Jack]

Fix what?

[_AH_DarkWolf]

I did'nt see anything...

DW

[_AH_Lippy]

Hmm it magically fixed itself - would that qualify as a miracle, or is DW losing it.  :lol

In the write up it states that I was awarded the DSC Distinguished Service Cross but in the Temp paged I have the Navy Cross or DFC. Hmm this might magically fix itself there by setting myself up for a DW slander  :happy-112:

[_AH_Lippy]

DW am I to assume that the Navy Cross that shows in the Temp pages to be the correct Medal that I recieved for the 58th Campiegn

[_AH_DarkWolf]

Uhh....yes. As I explained in my post above, awards of the DSC were converted to the Navy Cross.
