THE INTERNATIONAL HARMON TROPHY
AVIATRIXES
In 1926 Clifford B. Harmon, a wealthy sportsman and
aviator, established three international trophies to be
awarded annually to the world's outstanding aviator,
aviatrix, and aeronaut.
A fourth trophy was later created
to honor achievements in space flight.
The Harmon Trophy 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.
|
Solo pilots around the World are highlighted.
