The Distinguished Aviation Cross - Obverse.
The Distinguished Aviation Cross is a prestigious military honor bestowed by the Armed Forces of the Philippines, recognizing acts of heroism or exceptional achievement in aerial operations.
This cross is granted to individuals serving within the Philippine Air Force or the air components of the Philippine Army or Philippine Navy. It acknowledges voluntary actions undertaken in the face of substantial danger, surpassing the usual expectations of duty. The recognized accomplishment must demonstrate an exceptional and remarkable nature, highlighting distinguished heroism or extraordinary achievement while engaging in aerial flight.
The medal, crafted from gold-colored metal, takes the shape of a diamond. Positioned on the diamond is a Maltese cross featuring a radiant golden sun at its center, with rays extending between the arms of the cross. Above the sun, a four-bladed propeller is superimposed, with each blade extending beyond the cross’s edges.
This cross is hung from a ribbon of blue, bordered with white, and embellished with a central red stripe edged in gold.
