The Blood Cross (Cruz de Sangue) is a Brazilian Air Force medal awarded to military personnel and civilians serving in the Force who have been wounded in action while carrying out combat missions. It was established by Decree-Law No. 7,454 of April 10, 1945, amended by Decree-Law No. 8,901 of January 24, 1946, and regulated by Decree No. 20,497 of January 24, 1946.
Only 13 Brazilian aviators received this honor, all for actions in the Italian Campaign.
