 Bagsiden af medaljen Distinguished Flying Cross.

 Det britiske forsvarsministerium fastslår, at DFC er en medalje for tapperhed
 i tjenesten til alle grader for udvist eksemplarisk tapperhed under aktive
 operationer mod fjenden i luften. Personel som en gang mere viser en sådan
 tapperhed, som kunne have givet en anden DFC-medalje, vil få en sølvbjælke
 prydet med en ørn.

 Dette hæderstegn kan gives posthumt.

 The Ministry of Defence, Medals: Campaigns, descriptions and eligibility:

 "The Distinguished Flying Cross is an operational gallantry award given to
  all ranks of the services in recognition of exemplary gallantry during active
  operations against the enemy in the air. Personnel who perform a further
  act of such gallantry which would have merited a second award of the DFC
  would be issued with a silver bar ornamented by an eagle.

  This award is available posthumously."
