Dear Ms. Pakes,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the listings of the Distinguished Service Cross recipients for World War II, Korea, and during Peacetime, but were unable to locate a John Gordon Andrews on the lists. We suggest you contact the Air Force Historical Research Agency, 600 Chennault Circle, Building 1405, Maxwell Air Force Base, AL  36112-6424. The web site is https://www.afhra.af.mil/.They may have the general orders you seek.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your family research!
