In WWII he was credited with destroying 6 enemy aircraft in aerial combat plus 6 more on the ground.
His 2nd DFC citation:
For extraordinary achievement and heroism in aerial combat, the destruction of two enemy airplanes and for sharing in the destruction of one enemy airplane over enemy occupied Continental Europe. The skillful and zealous manner in which Lt. Starnes has sought out the enemy and destroyed him, his devotion to duty and courage under all conditions serve as an inspiration to his fellow flyers. His actions on all those occasions reflect the highest credit upon himself and the Armed Forces of the United States.
