harmon trophy

In 1926 Clifford B. Harmon, a wealthy sportsman and aviator, established the Harmon Trophy, a set of three international trophies to be awarded annually to the world's outstanding aviator, aviatrix, and aeronaut (balloon or dirigible). A fourth trophy, the "National Trophy," was awarded from 1926 through 1937. A fifth trophy was created in 1969 to honor achievements in space flight. The aviator's award is given for the most outstanding international achievements in the preceding year, with the art of flying receiving first consideration. The Smithsonian Institution acquired the aviator's trophy in 1950 from the Clifford B. Harmon Trust. Prior to 1950, the award was administered by the International League of Aviators (Ligue Internationale des Aviateurs). Since 1997 or 1998, the National Aeronautic Association has been responsible for awarding the trophies. With the exception of the Aeronaut trophy, all are inactive. This is an incomplete list compiled from several sources. The Aeronaut and Astronaut categories have not been listed in a central location. The NAA and the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum are working on assembling a complete list to be published in conjunction with the NAA's hundredth anniversary in 2005. The original awards were 24 inch tall bronze statues. The sculpture depicts World War I flying ace Raoul Lufbery launching a biplane set next to an eagle about to take wing. The statuette was created by sculptor Roumanbona M'Divani.
