"Supersonic Smile-Major John H. Glenn, Jr., USMC, received the Distinguished Flying Cross today from the Honorable Thomas S. Gates, Jr., Secretary of the Navy at a ceremony in the Secretary's office. The award recognized Major Glenn's achievement of becoming on July 16, the first man to span the continent at a speed faster than that of sound when he piloted a Chance-Vought F8U-1 Crusader from Los Alamitos Naval Air Station near Los Angeles, California, to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, in the record time of 3 hours, 23 minutes and 8.1 seconds. The Major is a veteran pilot of both World War II and the Korean conflict. His previous awards include three Distinguished Flying Crosses and 17 Air Medals."
