This medal was instituted in June 1918 and was established for officers and warrant officers of the RAF in respect of acts of valour while flying in active operations against the enemy.  The DFC is issued unnamed but Second World War crosses usually have the year of issue engraved on the reverse.  After the 1993 review of gallantry awards it was decided that this medal could be awarded to both officers and other ranks; the Distinguished Flying Medal having been discontinued.
