American Fighter Aces Bronze Medal – 1.5 Inch
Honor the bravery and skill of American Fighter Aces with this 1.5-inch bronze medal, commemorating their heroic military service and defense of freedom throughout the history of U.S. aviation warfare.
American Fighter Aces are military pilots credited with destroying five or more confirmed enemy aircraft in aerial combat during a war or conflict involving the U.S. Armed Forces. Serving across World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, fewer than 1,500 pilots have earned the prestigious title of Fighter Ace out of more than 60,000 U.S. military aviators.
Obverse (Heads): Features four pilots representing each major conflict—World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War—alongside an ace of spades and military wings with a centered globe, symbolizing the global impact of their service. Inscriptions: “AMERICAN FIGHTER ACES,” “ARMY,” “NAVY,” “AIR FORCE,” and “MARINES.”
Reverse (Tails): Depicts four aircraft flown by American Fighter Aces, with five stars representing the minimum number of aerial combat victories required for certification. Inscriptions: “DUTY COURAGE AGGRESSIVENESS,” “2014,” and “ACT OF CONGRESS.”
This medal is a must-have collectible for military history enthusiasts, aviation buffs, and medal collectors, honoring the courage and legacy of America’s most accomplished fighter pilots.
