For Bravery,3143715,Pilot,3rd Squadron,457th Near-Range Bombardment Aviation Regiment

This may answer your question, (or at least give a little to ponder)

Since I'm addicted to the Japanese Front, and specifically pilots :D I've seen that Medals for Bravery were more commonly appearing for pilots during the Japanese Front operations.

The reason being is I believe (my own opinion) to thin out awarding the Order of the Red Star, as a lot of pilots ended up doing ground support (strafing etc) and a lot of heroic deeds were done on this Front by other members of the forces as well.
