Operation Market Garden

"Has distinguished himself in battle by performing outstanding acts of courage, skill and loyalty in the following manner: On 17th September 1944, while serving as pilot of a type C.-47 aircraft, he was engaged in a parachute landing in the Netherlands. Approximately five minutes before reaching the landing zone, Lieutenant Schulman's aircraft was hit by German anti-aircraft fire, causing the lower part of the aircraft to burst into flames. Shortly afterwards the petrol tanks on the right wing exploded and, with complete disregard for his own safety, Lieutenant Schulman maintained his position in the formation and had his parachutists jump out of the aircraft in the designated zone. He then left the formation and continued flying in a horizontal direction long enough to allow his crew to parachute to safety. With extraordinary heroism and determination, this officer has fulfilled the task assigned to him."
