EDITORS COMMENTS
This souvenir medal commemorates the brave pioneers of transatlantic flight, both those who lost their lives in their heroic attempts to cross the vast Atlantic Ocean and the one who finally succeeded. Dating back to circa 1927, this medallion stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the relentless pursuit of aviation achievements. The intricately designed medal features a soaring eagle in the center, symbolizing the freedom and courage of the aviators who dared to challenge the unknown. The ocean waves and a ship in the background pay homage to the treacherous journey across the Atlantic Sea, which claimed the lives of many brave souls. The inscription on the medal reads, "To the Pioneers of Transatlantic Flight," acknowledging the sacrifices and contributions of all those who attempted the historic crossing. Among the pioneers honored by this medal is Charles Lindbergh, the legendary aviator who made history on May 20, 1927, by becoming the first solo pilot to fly nonstop across the Atlantic Ocean. Lindbergh's groundbreaking achievement brought transatlantic flight into the realm of reality and inspired a new era of aviation. This souvenir medal serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and rewards of human endeavor, as well as the awe-inspiring achievements of the pioneers of transatlantic flight. It is a precious artifact that captures the spirit of adventure, perseverance, and innovation that continues to drive us forward in our quest for new frontiers.
