The Desert Fliers Command has a commitment to recognize and pay tribute to all who displayed unusual bravery in air combat. With this in mind we announce the formation of the Air Medal Wing of the Desert Fliers Command

1- Most of our members are also holders of the Air Medal for achievement in air combat separate from the accomplishment of earning the DFC

2-Many of the Air Medal winners were candidates for the DFC but fell short of that goal for reasons such as a shortened tour of duty or being overlooked in the evaluation proces.

3- Many of the Air Medal winners were Crew comrades of our own DFC members performing in heroism on the same mission that our member received the DFC
