By
direction of the President, under the provisions of AR 600-45, 22
September 1943, the DFC is awarded to:
2LT Phillip R. Clark, Air Corps, United
States Army, for extraordinary heroism in action while serving as
bombardier on a mission over enemy occupied Europe, 16 Sept 1943.
After successfully completing the bombing mission, the aircraft was
attacked by enemy fighters, and LT Clark was seriously wounded and thrown
from his gun position by enemy fire. In spite of his serious wounds
he returned to his position and continued to fire his guns against
subsequent attacks until he collapsed from shock and loss of blood.
The heroism displayed by LT Clark on this occasion reflects the highest
credit upon himself and the armed forces of the United States.
