AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Detailed bronze statue of Mercury with airplane.
This is a beautiful reproduction of the Stinson Trophy.
Is it visible at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC?
The Stinson Trophy was established in 1997 in honor of the achievements of sisters Katherine and Marjorie Stinson.
These aviation pioneers were among the first eleven American women to obtain a pilot's license through the Aero Club of America (the predecessor of the NAA).
This trophy was originally intended to be awarded to Amelia Earhart by Lockheed Aircraft Corporation in 1938 after her around-the-world flight.
After Amelia Earhart's airplane was lost, the trophy was donated to an Amelia Earhart American Legion Post in California.
The National Aviation Club revived the trophy in 1996 and awards it annually in honor of the Stinson sisters, for female achievements in aviation or spaceflight.
The Stinson sisters, Katherine and Marjorie, began flying in 1912 at their mother's flying school in San Antonio, Texas. Katherine Stinson was the fourth woman in the United States to obtain a pilot's license. The Stinson sisters trained pilots during World War I.
