Two circular faces of a bronze medal feature aviation-themed imagery. On the left, a bird with outstretched wings flies above rounded clouds and the word FLIGHT. On the right, a muscular nude man faces our left, kneeling as he holds a small airplane aloft. A sun with radiating rays sits on our left, while the year 1941, split by a circular monogram containing the letters BP, is on our right.
