The Distinguished Flying Cross Society Event

A Unique Slice of American Aviation History

Join us as we host a gala event to introduce concepts for the DFC Permanent Display. American Master Artist, Ruth Mayer, has created a magnificent visual journey of America's history in aviation and donated it to The Distinguished Flying Cross Society (DFCS). The original painting will be the centerpiece of the permanent display at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. The fantastic interactive display will enable the Museum to expand its efforts in educating the public about this unique slice of aviation history. All donations raised will go toward the creation and maintenance of the DFC Permanent Display.
