This medal is in memory of Captain Georges Guynemer, an unparalleled hero of the early age of aviation in France, who played a major role in the First World War and was responsible for 54 victories in aerial combat. The medal was designed to honor his bravery and sacrifice, rather than the actual death of the flying ace. The piece is made from high quality material and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of the French military during the First World War.
