American Fighter Aces 1.5" Bronze Medal

Bronze Medal Honors WWII FIgher Aces

Authorized by Congress and produced by the US Mint, this bronze medal is scarce and collectable.  Struck with great detail, it commemorates one of the heroic groups that played a vital role during World War II, leading to Allied victory.

This commemorative medal honors American fighter aces from the Army, Navy, Air Force (then part of the Army), and Marines.  Fighter Aces are those pilots that destroyed five or more enemy aircraft during the war.  Thousands of fighter pilots participated in the war – but only 1,279 downed enough enemy aircraft to become fighter aces.  Of these, 735 came from US Army Air Forces, 381 from the Navy, 122 Marines, 22 with the Royal Air Force and 19 with the American Volunteer Group, also known as the Flying Tigers.
