Medal Obverse Simms Wakefield


EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wakefield and Simms Field Medal is a prestigious aviation award, established in 1913 to recognize outstanding achievements in the field of aviation. This image showcases the obverse side of the medal, which features an intricately designed representation of an early aeroplane in flight above a tranquil field. The plane, depicted in profile view, is shown with its wings outstretched and propellers in motion, symbolizing the power and grace of early aviation technology. The field below is dotted with small trees and winding paths, suggesting the idyllic settings where many pioneering aviation feats were accomplished. The medal's name, "Wakefield and Simms," is inscribed around the edge, along with the words "For Meritorious Service in Aviation." The obverse side also bears the crest of the Royal Aero Club, which played a significant role in the early development of British aviation. The medal was awarded to both British and foreign pilots, and its recipients include many notable figures in the history of aviation, such as Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart. The Wakefield and Simms Field Medal represents not only the spirit of adventure and innovation that characterized early aviation but also the close connection between the air and the land. The image of the plane in flight above the field serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement that came with early aviation achievements and the enduring allure of the open sky.
