  	Awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross: The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 2, 1926, takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Flying Cross to First Lieutenant (Air Corps) Robert L. Warner (AFSN: 0-525058), United States Army Air Forces, for extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight during a bombardment of the Nippon Oil Company at Amagasaki, Japan, 9 August 1945. Lieutenant Warner, as Airplane Commander of a B-29 aircraft, performed his mission of a precision bombing attack at night from his home base in the Marianas Islands against a target on Honshu, Japan. Flying at night and with a bomb load of over ten tons, with a precise time schedule which called for small compressibility of aircraft over the target, since attack was by single B-29's not in formation, Lieutenant Warner showed exceptional ability in reaching the target and dropping more than fifty percent of his bombs within 1,000 feet of the main point of impact. As a result of the strike in which he participated the target was nearly completely destroyed. The cool determination and high degree of skill he displayed, resulted in successful accomplishment of the mission, reflecting great credit on himself and the Army Air Forces.
