This important Aviation trophy was awarded in 1934 to Dr. John D. Brook known in the era as “American Most Prolific Flyer”. In 1933 he completed four years of consecutive daily flights. The 16 ¾” high trophy, which is mounted on a brown Bakelite base, has three eagles on a raised on a circular plate, their wings holding a large ball. A winged female figure, nude from the waist up, holds aloft a vintage single engine airplane all in chrome plate. The engraved plate on the Bakelite base reads “To Dr. John D. Brook in Recognition of his Contributions to Aviation, by Women’s National Flying Corps, Nov 15, 1934". The base is marked “Goldman JLRYCO KCM”. The trophy is in very good condition.
