2014 Medal American Fighter Aces Bronze 76mm

Coin Details

Description

This 2014 bronze medal at 76mm honors the American Fighter Aces in the larger display format. The 76mm version provides greater detail for the medal design honoring these elite combat aviators. American fighter aces served across six decades of aerial warfare, from the rickety biplanes of World War I through the jet fighters of Korea and Vietnam. Their skill in air-to-air combat required exceptional piloting ability, marksmanship, situational awareness, and courage under fire. The artistic quality of American medals has evolved significantly over time, from the competent but sometimes crude products of early die cutters to the sophisticated sculptural compositions of modern medalists. This large-format Congressional Gold Medal duplicate serves as an appropriate tribute to their extraordinary aerial combat achievements.
