Honored by:

The Order of Daedalians honors, as its Founder Members, all WWI aviators who were commissioned as officers and rated as military pilots no later than the Armistice on 11 November, 1918. It perpetuates their names as the first to fly our country's airplanes in time of war. The Order's membership of commissioned military pilots, with its worldwide network of Daedalian Flights and its comprehensive awards program, supports the military services, and other aerospace activities. The A wards and Scholarship Programs of the Order and Foundation encourage patriotism, integrity, and good character in our nation's youth; military careers as commissioned pilots; safety of flight, and excellence in the performance of military duties. The Daedalian Foundation's scholarship program also promotes study in aerospace disciplines.
