I hate to tell you this, but the image of the "Distinguished Service Cross" is not a DSC at all, but rather the Air Force Cross, which was not awarded until the Cuban Missile Crisis in the early 1960's. Two Air Force Crosses were awarded by the Air Force retroactively for actions performed during WW2.
Here is a photo of the DSC, awarded during WW2 to the Air Corps.

This is the Air Force Cross currently awarded to Air Force personnel after 1947.
