LIEUTENANT COLONEL PREN L. MOORE, (then First Lieutenant) 18th Reconnaissance Squadron (M), AAF, United States Army. For extraordinary heroism in action near Midway Island, 4 June 1942. Lieutenant MOORE, as co-pilot of a medium bombardment airplane, participated in an extremely hazardous and difficult torpedo-bombing mission against the Japanese Navy. He displayed extraordinary heroism throughout the attack by leaving his station as co-pilot to administer to wounds of three other crew members and by manning a gun position whose gunner had been totally disabled and fighting off enemy fighters.
