LTD Squad scrambled 11 pilots from Henderson Field during the Guadalcanal Landings battle and were tasked with keeping the area east of Santa Isabel clear of tanks and to maintain damage on the 3 scenes there. Flying an assortment of Avengers and Wildcats, they were able to accomplish this. They finished the battle leading all groups in tanks destroyed and also brought 77 buildings down in ruins. Aerial combat brought them many kills and assists and their totals netted the group 7.5 kills per pilot and over a 2:1 kill/lost plane tally. These efforts helped stall the Japanese war machine and prevent them from establishing bases on that end of the island. It is with this in mind that we are pleased to award the following pilots the Air Mission Excellence ribbon: LTD_B_Mitchell, LTD_BERN1_, LTD_BLOK, LTD_cunuk, LTD_EJHAWK, LTD_knightrider, LTD_Omega, LTD_SQUISHIE_D, LTD_StanfordTuck, LTD_Trupr_CO, and LTD_Washout.

During the battle of the Marianas, Allied Forces destroyed more aircraft than the totals of both sides combined for 2 battles. Their guns sent over 1700 JP aircraft down in flames, and those packing ordnance destroyed over 140 ships. The unsung heroes, those who performed above the mark, they pushed harder, fought harder, and remained focused on their task. Their effort was exceptional and ensured Allies an overwhelming Victory. It is truly an honor to bestow on them the Air Mission Excellence ribbon:
